> 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.
