Dan Berindei created ISPN-9917: ---------------------------------- Summary: JCachingProvider should not use weak ClassLoader references Key: ISPN-9917 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-9917 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Bug Components: JCache Affects Versions: 9.4.6.Final, 10.0.0.Alpha3 Reporter: Dan Berindei Assignee: Dan Berindei Fix For: 10.0.0.Beta1, 9.4.7.Final The idea behind {{WeakClassLoader}} is that we want users to be able to use {{Caching.getCachingProvider().getCacheManager()}} and not worry about closing the cache manager: instead Infinispan will close the manager when there are no more references to the provided {{ClassLoader}}. In order to close the manager automatically, {{AbstractJCachingProvider}} maintains a {{WeakHashMap}} of classloaders to managers, and if the cache manager had a strong reference to the classloader, the {{WeakHashMap}} entry would never be collected. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.12.1#712002)
