RE: Eviction of pooled services

[James Carman]

David,   To answer the question, I don’t think the service implementation object is ever really freed from the pool once it’s instantiated.  The “pool” in this case is simply an ArrayList.  The pooling algorithm is very rudimentary.  Once the object is no longer needed by the current thread, it’s just added back to the pool.  There’s nothing that I can tell that evicts idle objects from the pool.  You could look into creating a more robust implementation by extending PooledServiceModel yourself or put an issue out in JIRA for it.  I know that we’re reluctant to have too many dependencies for HM, so adding a dependency to commons-pool would probably be vetoed (but you’d have my vote).  I’ve tried to suggest refactoring some of the code so that it uses commons-beanutils, but that was quickly rejected.   James   From: James Carman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 8:26 AM To: hivemind-user@jakarta.apache.org; 'belaran' Subject: RE: Eviction of pooled services   --> That’s not his question.  He wants to know when the object will be freed/evicted from the pool so that it is even eligible for gc.   From: belaran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 8:23 AM To: hivemind-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Re: Eviction of pooled services   As far as I understand the garbage collector, there is no real way to know. At some point, the garbage collector enters in action, degrades the perf but clean all object that are no longer referenced... Period. You cannot order it to clean this more quickly, you cannot clean yourself ( at least not the memory) and you don't really have control on it... 2005/7/8, David J. M.
