Thomas Andraschko commented on MYFACES-4722:
--------------------------------------------
[~volosied] is this interesseting on your side?
I think we could just close it. JSF native managed beans were even deprecated
in 2.3 already, 4.0+ is CDI only anyway.
> Memory leak when using unscoped managed beans
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MYFACES-4722
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4722
> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: General
> Affects Versions: 2.3.11
> Environment: Linux + WildFly
> Reporter: Paul Pogonyshev
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: myfaces-memory-leak.tar.gz
>
>
> When a managed bean is instantiated by MyFaces, it gets registered in some
> deployment-global map. I'm not sure about the interface involved, on WildFly
> it boils down to `CachingWebInjectionContainer`. When the bean's scope
> (request, session, etc.) is closed, the bean is removed from this map.
> However, if the bean has no scope associated, it seems to never get removed,
> essentially leaking memory. If the bean is large or references lots of
> objects, this eventually leads to OOM situation. We have observed this in
> practice.
> I created a simple reproducer project. I only tested with MyFaces 2.3 and
> WildFly 26, but the bug might also be present in newer versions as well (it
> is simply not easy for me to test as I used the same setup as for our real
> project).
> To reproduce:
> * unpack the project;
> * build it (`./gradlew clean build`);
> * deploy on WildFly;
> * visit the page (sth. like
> `http://localhost:8080/myfaces-memory-leak/test.jsf`);
> * refresh about 10-20 times (depends on WildFly settings etc.);
> * eventually OOM is triggered.
> You also don't have to wait for OOM. If you check server output (stdout) you
> can see text like this:
> NEW MANAGED BEAN: request #0
> NEW MANAGED BEAN: unscoped #1
> NEW MANAGED BEAN: unscoped #2
> NEW MANAGED BEAN: request #3
> GARBAGE-COLLECTED: request #0
> NEW MANAGED BEAN: unscoped #4
> NEW MANAGED BEAN: unscoped #5
> NEW MANAGED BEAN: request #6
> GARBAGE-COLLECTED: request #3
> ...
> I.e. managed beans with request scope get allocated and then
> garbage-collected. However, beans without associated scope never get
> garbage-collected because they are still reachable in memory.
