After I could not find a way to do it I even posted a question on testng-users and got a recommendation from Cedric to nullify all instances from a @AfterClass method in superclass. I also found that I was wrong regarding invocation of @AfterClass methods:) As long as you do not override @AfterClass method it *will* be invoked starting from the leaf all the way up through ancestors. I created a superclass called AbstractInfinispanTest with nullifyInstanceFields method and made AbstractInfinispanTest superclass of all test classes. Works as a charm and guranteed no more leaks! Let me know if you have any reservations to this change.
