Hello! I have a JSP page that instantiates an object. This instantiates another one, as a thread. The thread is created and started on the same inline, and I have no pointer to the thread.
My question is: when this thread finishes it's run(), does it get garbagecleaned? The object that referenced it was created by a JSP page that was already delivered to the client, so it should be, right? I'm asking this as I have a server that, after some usage, starts to get slow and then completly freezes, needing a restart. I suspect that there is a memory leak somewhere, and this seems the most probable place. If your answer is "the thread gets garbagecleaned, so look elsewhere for your problem", I would appreciate help on how to analyse memory usage. I'm clueless on this. I'm using tomcat 3.2.3 and I run it on UNIX, with JDK1.3. If needed be, I can put it to run on a Windows, if you tell me that THE tool to check for the problem is windows-based I appreciate your help. If you think that this question shouldn't be posted here but rather on the devel list, please notify me.
