> Our application encountered a memory leak issue after upgrading from JEXL 3.1
> to 3.2.
> It seems that every call to JexlEngine createExpression now adds new entries
> to engine.parser.jjtree.nodes. In our case we suddenly had millions of nodes
> in this list.
> This sample seems to reproduce the issue
> {code:java}
> JexlEngine jexlEngine = new JexlBuilder().create();
> String testExpression = "dummy";
> jexlEngine.createExpression(testExpression); //
> jexlEngine.parser.jjtree.nodes.size() == 1
> jexlEngine.createExpression(testExpression); //
> jexlEngine.parser.jjtree.nodes.size() == 2
> {code}
> We currently don't cache the returned expression and JexlEngine is configured
> with defaults as shown in the sample.
> Note that calling jexlEngine.clearCache() does not free the nodes.
> Attached screenshot for the hprof of our application with ~ 1.7 million nodes
> in jjtree.
