---------------------------------------------
Assign To: Howard M. Lewis Ship
> ThreadLocal object is never removed in ThreadEventNotifierImpl and holds the
> classloader
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVEMIND-161
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVEMIND-161
> Project: HiveMind
> Type: Bug
> Components: framework
> Versions: 1.1
> Environment: Tomcat 5.5.12, J2SE 1.6 Mustang build 62, Win XP SP2
> Reporter: Kyrill Alyoshin
> Assignee: Howard M. Lewis Ship
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: hivemind-threadlocals.pdf
>
> The following prevents the web application classloader from being garbage
> collected on hot redeploys of web applications.
> Please note that the issue is present on J2SE 1.5 as well. I use 1.6 only
> because it has far better support for JVMTI and as such the issue was easy to
> discover with YourKit profiler. Here it is:
> 1. org.apache.hivemind.service.impl.ThreadEventNotifierImpl puts
> EventListenerList ("list" variable) on its private ThreadLocal "_storage"
> variable in addThreadCleanupListener method.
> 2. No where in that class does the actual list gets removed from ThreadLocal.
> Thus, the WebappClassLoader cannot be garbage collected because one of the
> object that it loaded (i.e. EventListenerList) is strongly referenced by live
> threads in the container, which leads to huge memory leaks on hot-redeploys.
