I am using merlin (artifact:merlin/merlin-impl#3.3.0") in an embedded style. My application has a "restart" feature that calls the shutdown method of the current kernel, and then recreate it with factory.create(criteria).
At issue is the memory foot print after each restart. It keeps growing at about 8 to 10 Megs per restart. Eventually, if enough restart occurs, JVM runs out of memory in my memory constrained application. Could this behavior be due to Merlin ? Could Merlin be hanging on to something after shutdown method is called? Is there any cleanup I should due after shutdown method is called? Each restart, I recreate the kernel as follows. InitialContextFactory initial = new DefaultInitialContextFactory("config/myapp"); initial.setCacheDirectory( getRepositoryDir()); initial.setOnlineMode( false ); InitialContext context = initial.createInitialContext(); Artifact artifact = Artifact.createArtifact(MERLIN_SPEC); Builder builder = context.newBuilder(artifact); Factory factory = builder.getFactory();. Map criteria = factory.createDefaultCriteria(); criteria.put("merlin.info", new Boolean(isInfo) : // many more criteria added m_kernel = factory.create(criteria); Your help will be appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
