After some investigation on this I found this one: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;jsessionid=cfd518f51afc7780e5188276b5f9?bug_id=6912889
That's one of the issues. There are more. In essence: not worth it. Forget you ever heard about SoftReferences, and life becomes easier.
It turns out that the GC policy for SoftReferences itself is the problem. But on the other hand, memory management is clearly the job of the VM/GC. Doing this "by hand" via a separate thread, checking memory and releasing references, introduces a bunch of other problems *and* is probably less efficient. somewhat perplexed...
I think Ehcache does this already, so just go with that I guess is easiest. /Rickard _______________________________________________ qi4j-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ops4j.org/mailman/listinfo/qi4j-dev
