Potential class loader leak caused by the thread local in 
org.apache.axiom.util.UIDGenerator
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIOM-354
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIOM-354
             Project: Axiom
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: API
    Affects Versions: 1.2.10
            Reporter: Andreas Veithen


UIDGenerator uses a ThreadLocal with a value class that belongs to Axiom 
(namely UIDGeneratorImpl). Since the ThreadLocal is never cleaned up explicitly 
(doing that would break the UIDGenerator), this may cause a class loader leak 
(i.e. in a Web application, it may prevent the class loader from being garbage 
collected when the application is stopped). Since UIDGeneratorImpl basically 
stores 3 values of type long, it should be easy to refactor the code so that 
the value class ThreadLocal is not loaded from the application class loader 
(e.g. by using long[] as value class). However, I first need to confirm that 
there is really a class loader leak here.
