> The tomcat7 stop, undeploy, or redeploy actions on a WAR which utilizes log4j
> can create a memory leak. The memory leak is believed to be caused by log4j
> for the following reasons:
> 1)Heap Dump reveals the classloader instance responsible for the WAR plugin
> (of type org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader) has 2 non weak/soft
> reference which are of type
> (org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext$ShutdownThread) and
> (org.apache.logging.log4j.core.jmx.LoggerContextAdmin) after the WAR has been
> stopped or undeployed.
> 2)Using SLF4J (slf4j-api, jcl-over-slf4j) to logback-classic logging output
> is equivalent but all memory is gc as expected (the
> org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader which loaded the WAR is no
> longer referenced by any hard references)
> 3)Using the SLF4J NOP logger implementation all memory is gc as expected (the
> org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader which loaded the WAR is no
> longer referenced by any hard references)
> This may not be unique to 2.0rc-1 and I have seen similar behavior in
> previous 2.0 beta releases.
> This is reproducible with a very simple spring hello world application. Code
> and/or heap dumps can be provided upon request.
