------------------------------------
I think you worry too much about names ;-) I don't think it matters much one
way or the other, and is nowhere near as important as making it work correctly.
> PermGen OutOfMemoryError when reloading webapp on Tomcat 6
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-819
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-819
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2
> Environment: Tomcat 6
> Reporter: Costa Theodosiou
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: demo.zip, demorun-tomcat6-with-reload.zip, demorun.zip,
> gg-log4j2-clocks-interrupts.patch, gg-log4j2-clocks-v2.patch

>
> When reloading an application 3 or 4 times in Tomcat 6, the application
> crashes with a "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" exception.
> After some investigation using the "When all else fails" section of
> https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/OutOfMemory in conjunction with Java VisualVM,
> I have narrowed down the problem to the Thread created within
> org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.CoarseCachedClock.
> When a Thread is created, it contains a reference to the classloader that it
> was created with. In this case, the Thread's contextClassLoader field
> contains a reference to the WebappClassLoader. When Tomcat attempts to unload
> the webapp, the Thread still holds onto this reference which prevents
> WebappClassLoader from being freed.
> Perhaps the Log4jServletContextListener (Log4jWebInitializerImpl) can be made
> to stop the CoarseCachedClock thread.
> I believe this is not an obvious issue on Tomcat 7 due to
> https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/MemoryLeakProtection.
