FireAllRulesRuleBaseUpdateListener to use a WeakReference<StatefulSession> to prevent memory leaks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-2422 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-2422 Project: Drools Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-core Affects Versions: 5.0.1.FINAL Reporter: Juergen Assignee: Mark Proctor I had similar issues with StatefulSession (instantiated via JSR94 api) not being released / GCed Investigating the Issue I found JBESB-1796 My problem was also caused by the session still being connected to a GC root via session -> FireAllRulesRuleBaseUpdateListener -> rulebase -> root Wouldn't it be more robust to use a WeakReference to the session in org.drools.base.FireAllRulesRuleBaseUpdateListener? or the listener itself?
