Thanks Chris, I must be doing something wrong.
If I add either subscription-timeout-minutes or message-time-to-live (or both) to the remoting-config.xml file, I get HTTP status 500 (internal server error). Is that the right file to place them in? And, does timeout-minutes belong in services-config.xml? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christofer Dutz" <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> To: users@flex.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 5:28:46 AM Subject: Re: Tomcat 8 memory leak (?) moving from GlassFish Hi, I can’t really say if you need all of them, I just noticed that if you don’t specify some of them no cleanup at all is done and that’s bad. And yes we have released several versions of BlazeDs … the most recent one is 4.7.2 Chris Am 09.01.17, 16:31 schrieb "modjkl...@comcast.net" <modjkl...@comcast.net>: Thanks so much Chris, Has a stable BlazeDS 4.8.0 been released yet? Currently I'm using build=4.0.0.14931. Thanks for summarizing the two (three?) parameters to set to help improve memory cleanup with BlazeDS. Do I need to configure any of timeout-minutes subscription-timeout-minutes message-time-to-live if I don't use messaging? I only use BlazeDS to access remote objects. Will I still run into memory issues? Which file does the <flex-client> <timeout-minutes>5</timeout-minutes> </flex-client> code get inserted into? I don't see that tag anywhere in my files. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christofer Dutz" <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> To: users@flex.apache.org Sent: Monday, January 9, 2017 1:26:00 AM Subject: Re: Tomcat 8 memory leak (?) moving from GlassFish Hi, I am using that combination and it’s working quite fine. However I already knew you were using BlazeDS, from your first post as I know that there are severe issues in the cleaning up of resources. Unfortunately the managing of message queues and the cleaning up code in BlazeDS is a nightmare. I did find out however that if you explicitly set a timeout. I just did a ponymail search and I guess this post of mine should help you: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b2aba6fc94490bf025f7edabc164a99689b7b0c7f66d0bb15043e5c0@1438161589@%3Cdev.flex.apache.org%3E Chris Am 07.01.17, 05:15 schrieb "modjkl...@comcast.net" <modjkl...@comcast.net>: Anyone using Flex+BlazeDS+Tomcat? If so, stop Tomcat ($CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh) and look at the log at $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out. Do you see a SEVERE error for memory leak when Tomcat stops? ----- Original Message ----- From: modjkl...@comcast.net To: "apache users" <users@flex.apache.org> Sent: Friday, January 6, 2017 3:22:21 PM Subject: Re: Tomcat 8 memory leak (?) moving from GlassFish The Tomcat support community replied with the following. I'm thinking anyone using BlazeDS with Tomcat should see the same issue. Anyone know how to resolve? -------tomcat comments follow---------- If all goes well, this leak will be handled by Tomcat and your service won't suffer for it. That said, you should fix the problem because cleaning-up messes is wasteful if the mess wasn't necessary in the first place. The leak itself is coming from your application or one of the libraries it's using. The solution will be to find and fix that leak. I would start by asking the Apache Flex people what the SerializationContext is for, and how to remove ThreadLocal values from shared threads (such as those in a servlet environment). It's possible you are using the Flex framework in a way that is not conducive to a servlet environment, but that a few changes could make it safer to use. ----- Original Message ----- From: modjkl...@comcast.net To: "apache users" <users@flex.apache.org> Sent: Friday, January 6, 2017 2:12:59 PM Subject: Re: Tomcat 8 memory leak (?) moving from GlassFish I should mention I'm using BlazeDS, which I'm assuming is creating connections(?). ----- Original Message ----- From: modjkl...@comcast.net To: "apache flex users" <users@flex.apache.org> Sent: Friday, January 6, 2017 2:08:08 PM Subject: Tomcat 8 memory leak (?) moving from GlassFish In the processing of moving my Flex 4.12 web app from GlassFish 3.1.2 to Tomcat 8.5.9, I observe the following SEVERE error in the tomcat log.

Threads are going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable memory leak.
