The memory will not go away until the GC decides to clean up the objects. You may want to try to force a GC for testing reasons and see if that shows that it is working fine (then you can remove the call to GC as you should never call it directly)

Hi, I have made some test with my JSF portlet regarding memory consumption with liferay and tomcat. The memory usage increases up to 1,1 Gbyte. After closing the session and waiting, the memory usage does not decrease. In detail I store a big PDF as byte[] in the session, show it and remove it from the session but the memory usage remains on the highest value. That's strange I think.
