Possible memory leak in XMLReaderManager
----------------------------------------

         Key: XALANJ-2178
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2178
     Project: XalanJ2
        Type: Bug
  Components: transformation  
    Versions: CurrentCVS    
    Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
    Priority: Critical


The XMLReaderManager caches the used XMLReader in a thread local variable. In 
multi tasking environments this is a possible memory leak, as the XMLReader 
(and everything referenced by this component) is still referenced after the 
process is finished - until another request uses the same thread.
In our case this is causing out of memory exceptions.
I don't know what the correct path to this problem is. For now, we removed the 
thread locals in the XMLReaderManager completly and created a new reader each 
time - which has a minor performance downside, but our application is still 
running :)
I think one possible solution would be to clean up the reader when the 
transformation is finished - if this is possible.
Another solution would be to make this configurable using a property?
