Massive accumulation of ConcurrentHashMap in heap

[J. Matthew Pryor]

Hi,

I am trying to track down the reason for a massive accumulation of  
ConcurrentHashMap in the heap of our long running Java process.

We are running Java 1.6 so I am pretty sure the known issue relating  
to the 1.5 JVM doesn't apply here.

The URL below is a link to a screen shot of the heap analysis, showing  
the accumulated memory. It seems to be root in a series or region  
brokers?

I can also see that some JMX classes are in the root, could the reason  
for the accumulation be related to having JMX enabled?

As far as we can tell, the queues are being serviced normally, and  
this application generally runs for long periods of time without any  
noticeable memory leak.

I'd be greatly appreciative of any ideas for strategies to get more  
information about the source of the memory accumulation.

We're using Java 1.6 7 Active MQ 5.3

Thanks,
Matthew
