Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRMINA-838:
-------------------------------------------
Interestng question. It has been changed a while back to be static, but we gor
some failures back then.
Any reason why you have so any AttributeKeys stuck in memory ? They should be
discarded as soon as the session is terminated.
> Redundant AttributeKey allocation resulting in high garbage collector
> activity

> Key: DIRMINA-838
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-838
> Project: MINA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Filter
> Affects Versions: 2.0.3
> Environment: java version "1.6.0_22"
> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode)
> Reporter: Platon Potapov
>
> The classes CumulativeProtocolDecoder and ProtocolCodecFilter (there are
> others too, but these two are the important ones for our project) have
> members of type AttributeKey declared as:
> private final AttributeKey ENCODER = new
> AttributeKey(ProtocolCodecFilter.class, "encoder");
> As can be seen, these are not static, so each time ProtocolCodecFilter is
> created, AttributeKey objects get created as well, which in turn involves
> creation of a lot of String and char[] objects. jProfiler indicates that
> AttributeKey is accountable for creation of about 85% of all Strings and
> char[] in runs of our project, so it makes a significant difference for us.
> Is it OK for these attribute key objects to be singletons? If not, what would
> take to make them singletons?
> Some of other MINA filters have AttributeKeys as static members (e.g.
> MdcInjectionFilter, SslFilter).
> To summarize: the improvement being requested is to make the pre-defined
> AttributeKey objects static within classes such as CumulativeProtocolDecoder
> and ProtocolCodecFilter.
