Re: JESS: Memory Issue??

That makes sense. Another question I would have though is why the number 
of "indicies" would be increasing if I'm not adding any new rules to the 
network?

Hi,

While using the trial version of 6.1p5 under a memory profiler, it 
appears that there are a large number of instances of the jess.e class 
(a class with if() and a() methods) that aren't being garbaged collected 
ever.
I'm resetting the rules engine and clearing storage regularly, but these 
instances remain. Is there any other clearning necessary? or is anyone 
else expereinceing the same thing?
   

Jess rules are compiled into a "Rete network," a complex data
structure that bears some similarity to the indexes of a database, but
on steroids. This class is a part of that network. There will be a
number of instances of this class for each rule you have defined, and
neither (reset) nor (clesr-storage) will have any affect on them. They
will exist as long as the rule(s) they are related to are defined.
You should observe that some fraction of them will disappear for each
rule you remove using (undefrule), and they should all disappear if
you erase all the rules using (clear).
