I am generating PDF's using IText and have noticed that the servers I am
using seem to be running out of memory over time. I've turned off my feature
to use IText and the servers seem fine - so I'm fairly certain there's
something within my implementation of IText that is causing a memory leak.
Here's my structure for IText:
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
file = new File("/tmp/Hotel-Fax-" + voucher.getVoucherID() + ".pdf");
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream(file));
writer.setStrictImageSequence(true);
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
//Some methods here which just create PDFPTables and add some text / images
cb.stroke();
document.close();
return file;
I am wondering if there is some way that my PdfWriter or PdfContentByte are
holding on to memory even though I've closed the document, meaning that next
time the code is called, it just creates new objects and the memory
eventually runs out?
Any help would be great!
Thanks, Chris
PS - I do have the iText In Action book 2nd edition so if the answer lies
somewhere in there please let me know.
