--------------------------------
Priority: Blocker (was: Critical)
> Memory Leak when SlashesInActionNames is enabled and wildcards are used in
> actionnames
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WW-2996
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2996
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core Interceptors
> Affects Versions: 2.0.11
> Environment: *nix, Java 1.6
> Reporter: David Greenwald
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Struts 2 leaks memory when SlashesInActionNames is enabled and action
> mappings with wildcards are used. The problem is in the
> AnnotationActionValidatorManager which maintains a cache of the Validators.
> If an action is defined along the lines of "actionname/*" where what the
> wildcard matches isn't a finite list you end up with one validator in memory
> for each unique request.
> eg: A request for /actionname/foo and /actionname/bar causes two validator
> objects to be cached even though they are mapped to the same action.
> The AnnotationActionValidatorManager class assumes a finite number of
> Validators will need to be created, and thus has no mechanism to limit the
> maximum size of the cache.
> I believe the solution is probably to change the key to the cache so that the
> widecards are respected by the cache (i.e. /actionname/foo and
> /actionname/bar result in only one validation object being created).
> In my specific case this leak worked out to be about a gig of heap a day on
> an application that takes a little over a million unique hits a day. I was
> able to resolve this issue by removing the validation interceptor which was
> acceptable because I had used validate() methods in the actions which is
> called by the workflow interceptor at which point the application could run
> with 256 meg of heap.
