Unreferenced sessions should get garbage collected
--------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-1216
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1216
Project: Jackrabbit
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jackrabbit-core
Reporter: Thomas Mueller
If an application opens many sessions and doesn't close them, they are never
garbage collected. After some time, the virtual machine will run out of memory.
This code will run out of memory after a few thousand logins:
Repository rep = new TransientRepository();
for (int i = 0; ; i++) {
rep.login(new SimpleCredentials("", new char[0]));
}
Using a finalizer to close SessionImpl doesn't work, because it seems there are
references from the (hard referenced part of the cache) to the SessionImpl
objects. Maybe it is possible to remove those references, or change them to
weak references.
