Hi, I'm having some difficulties when making multiple GWT RPC calls from within a GWT Timer.
I've run my example in a few different applications that monitor the memory usage of the page and in all of them there is a constant increase in the amount of memory after each call. In the example all I am doing is scheduling a Timer to run every 5 seconds to call my service that simply returns a large string - around 250,000 characters (JSON formatted). The memory increase seems to occur in IE7, IE8, FireFox & Chrome. Chrome's developer tools (Heap Snapshots profile) seems to suggest that the increase is related to the strings I'm returning - I'm assuming that by nulling the string that once the method finishes running the garbage collector should clean it up but something must be holding onto them, I just cant work out what!! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if anyone requires any extra information! My entry point consists of the following code. package com.imass.performancetesting.client; import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint; import com.google.gwt.core.client.GWT; import com.google.gwt.user.client.Timer; import com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.AsyncCallback; import com.imass.performancetesting.client.services.IVesselServices; import com.imass.performancetesting.client.services.IVesselServicesAsync; public class PerformanceTestingEntryPoint implements EntryPoint { /** * Create a remote service proxy to talk to the server-side Vessel service (Async). */ private IVesselServicesAsync rpcVesselServices = GWT.create(IVesselServices.class); public void onModuleLoad() { new Timer() { public void run() { rpcVesselServices.getCurrentVessels(new AsyncCallback<String>() { @Override public void onFailure(Throwable arg0) { // Show the RPC error message to the user GWT.log(arg0.getMessage()); } @Override public void onSuccess(String resultString) { resultString = null; } }); } }.scheduleRepeating(5 * 1000); } } Thanks in advance, Jason. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
