Ok, this is then the same as If I would set a value (the demaning class) in the AbstractDependencyMD? So class should only be set in the 'placeholder' DependencyItem? No memory leak problem there? As for MDV[]Node.describeVisit() - it should not add any class refs to MetaData then? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3965314#...
