> Hi.
> I found a serious memory leak in the Xalan library. It is caused by the
> org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl class.
> I try to explain mechanism how the memory leak is caused:
> Web application is deployed on SAP NetWeaver AS with Java 1.6 (1.6.0_95). The
> application uses Spring WS library but also another libraries with dependency
> to Xalan library.
> When the web service is invoked, then the TransformerIdentityImpl class is
> used. This class is used because it's extends javax.xml.transform.Transformer
> and it is created by Java core method -
> javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.newInstance().
> A class com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.soap.EnvelopeFactory is used for
> handling web services. This object also contains cache (ParserPool) with
> SAXParser objects (com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl). As
> key for this cache is used an application class loader.
> EnvelopeFactory object and SAXParserImpl objects are loaded by a system class
> loader, but TransformerIdentityImpl class is loaded by an application class
> loader.
> During handling of web service a method
> org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl.transform(Source,
> Result) is invoked. This method uses SAXParser as a reader. Problem is that
> this method register self for handling properties (eg:
> "http://xml.org/sax/handlers/DeclHandler";) but after processing method
> doesn't unregister self from SAXParser. It means that objects loaded by the
> system class loaded has dependencies on objects loaded by the application
> class loader.
> Objects are still loaded after application is undeployed because cached
> SAXParser references TransformerIdentityImpl.
> I prepared very simple patch to fix this problem. In the attachment is also
> picture which demonstrates situation.
