[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Web Services] - JAX-WS 2.1 and JBoss 4.2.2

Hi, I'm deploying our J2EE application with JAX-WS 2.1 on JBoss 4.2.2GA. Unfortunately I have suspition that JBoss and JAX-WS cause memory leaks because approximately after 24 hours with heavy load, JBoss crashes with OutOfMemory exception. And this happens when JAVA tries to allocate more than 2 GB of ram (Windows server 2003, 4 GB ram, 2x quad core Intel Xeon). When I started my investigation, I used native memory profiler which showed that large memory is allocated from zip.dll. This is why I decided to take a look at class loader. I found that in runtime a lot of classes are loaded by __JVM_DefineClass__ and org.jboss.mx.loading.UnifiedClassLoader3. Below you can see how the number of loaded classes grows and also you can see classes which are loaded more than once. Also there is a link to screenshot from performance monitor with memory graphs http://www.3dspace.cz/perfmon.jpg.
