Hi,

In my project I am using using gwt-2.4.0. The server side business wrapper 
extends com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.RemoteServiceServlet, deployed on 
WebSphere Application Server7 (JDK1.6, with JEE5 compliance).
I have a memory leak on the server side (I expected low memory usage values 
due to the stateless approach with GWT as opposite to JSF for example - one 
of the main reasons why I used GWT in the first place). After analyzing the 
heap dumps the cause is java.lang.ThreadLocal$ThreadLocalMap$Entry with 
over 400.000 entries.
Dinging to find the reason I have come across other 
people experiencing similar situations caused by the usage of ThreadLocal 
in a improper manner.
See: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3984256/lots-of-threadlocalmap-entries-in-memory
 
and http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6625723

The current implementation 
of com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.AbstractRemoteServiceServlet uses two 
instances of ThreadLocal to wrap the HttpServletRequest and 
HttpServiceResponse objects. (both are not static; couldn't see any calls 
to remove; "this" is in the sychronized block - couple of things that 
triggered my suspicions).

Did anybody faced similar issues?


With thanks,
Tiberiu
