The SFSB has been migrated from ejb2 to ejb3.1 (Home, Remote, Bean impl., ejb-jar.xml). Passivation on server is NoPassivate (simple). The client calls come from a tomcat 7. *After running a time with a number of remote calls, the AS 7 vm is out of memory.* *Force GC does not free the jvm memory pool "tenured gen" on windows or "ps old gen" on linux!* *Only when I disable the Bean, the memory is freed.* Client:                 Properties jndiProps = new Properties();                 jndiProps.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory");                 jndiProps.put("jboss.naming.client.ejb.context", true);                 jndiProps.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"remote://myserver:4447");                 jndiProps.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");                 jndiProps.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "username");                 jndiProps.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password");                 InitialContext context=new InitialContext( jndiProps );                PortalHome pHome = (PortalHome)c.lookup("ejb:/PortalBean/PortalBean!uiportal.ejb.session.PortalHome?stateful");                Portal pRemote = pHome.create();                pRemote.doSomeStuff();                pRemote.ejbRemove(); // Bean Method annotaded with @Remove, also in Remote Interface -> the @PreDestroy method will be called by the server!!!!                context.close(); Any idea is highliy appreciated!!!! Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/773137#773137] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
