Christopher Brown updated XMLBEANS-502:
---------------------------------------

    Description: 
Hello,

After creating this issue 
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55149 I was advised to 
create the issue here.  This appears to be similar to 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-103 but as it's marked as FIXED 
and as I'm using a more recent version (and as it's not completely identical), 
I'm creating a new issue.

It would appear that XMLBeans is creating (and not clearing) ThreadLocal 
variables.  This causes Tomcat to complain about classloader leaks (see 
messages below).  Based on information in XMLBEANS-103, I have tried to coax 
the JVM to clear the ThreadLocal (by performing garbage collection on the JVM), 
but that doesn't clear the ThreadLocals, even if allowing time to elapse AFTER 
using POI to process an XSSF document and BEFORE stopping Tomcat.

To workaround this, we're having to impose long downtime when a restart is 
required.  Perhaps a utility class within XMLBeans could be made available with 
the POI distribution such as:

XMLBeansCache.clearThreadLocals()

...that I could call from a "finally" block after processing the XSSF document?

Here's the information from Tomcat's logs:
SEVERE: The web application [/foobar] created a ThreadLocal with key of type 
[org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlBeans$1] (value 
[org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlBeans$1@7d3aace]) and a value of type 
[java.lang.ref.SoftReference] (value [java.lang.ref.SoftReference@5972be65]) 
but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. This is very 
likely to create a memory leak.

of type [java.util.ArrayList] (value [[java.lang.ref.SoftReference@385a2be8]]) 
but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. This is very 
likely to create a memory leak.

[java.lang.ref.SoftReference] (value [java.lang.ref.SoftReference@362f7b99]) 
but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. This is very 
likely to create a memory leak.

[java.lang.ref.SoftReference] (value [java.lang.ref.SoftReference@2dbaa4d2]) 
but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. This is very 
likely to create a memory leak.
