Dain Sundstrom closed XBEAN-95. ------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed I applied all of your suggested changes. > register PropertyEditors locally, not globally > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: XBEAN-95 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XBEAN-95 > Project: XBean > Issue Type: Bug > Components: spring > Reporter: Christopher Sahnwaldt > Assignee: Dain Sundstrom > > org.apache.xbean.spring.context.impl.PropertyEditorHelper registers > PropertyEditors for java.io.File, java.net.URI, java.util.Date and > javax.management.ObjectName using > java.beans.PropertyEditorManager.registerEditor(). This may cause problems: > - the usual problem with global variables: another application running in the > same JVM may register a different PropertyEditor, e.g. for java.util.Date. > One of the applications will then use the PropertyEditor that was registered > by the other application. Which application 'wins' depends on the order of > the calls to PropertyEditorManager.registerEditor(). > - java.beans.PropertyEditorManager keeps a strong reference to the registered > classes. The xbean PropertyEditor classes are loaded by the context class > loader, (which is the webapp class loader if running in Tomcat etc.). The > class java.beans.PropertyEditorManager is loaded by the bootstrap class > loader. This means that there is a strong reference from the bootstrap class > loader to the webapp class loader, which means that the webapp class loader > cannot be unloaded, which means that the webapp is not garbage collected when > it is undeployed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
