Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-4307:
------------------------------------------
I think we can do away with not caching the Property object. The Property
object is only needed to know about whether the Property is multi-value or not.
This could be done by just a flag field.
In addition you might add a JcrResourceUtil.toJavaObject method to take the
multi-value flag and the array of values to convert to supercede the use of the
JcrResourceUtil.toJavaObject(Property) call.
Yes, not caching the Property at all, makes sense.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4307
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JCR
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Fix For: JCR Resource 2.4.0
>
>
> The support for ValueMap is currently caching the JCR Value objects and also
> the JCR Property object.
> If the value map object is held, this might prevent garbage collection within
> Oak as the value object holds a reference to the revision.
> We should check whether caching is needed at all or if for example we could
> just cache the value itself but not the JCR Value object
