Memory leaks where the classloader cannot be garbage collected / impossible to dispose tomcat devloader when i reload context (drools keep reference)... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-2266 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-2266 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: All Affects Versions: 4.0.7 Environment: XP SP2 2Mo Tomcat 5.5.9 / drools 4.0.7 Reporter: GREFFET Emmanuel Assignee: Edson Tirelli Priority: Critical Fix For: 5.1.0.M2 (sorry for my English) We use drools 4.0.7 in a hospital application. We load drools and our programs (services) with tomcat Devloader (5.5.9) We use drools in statefullsession (retract and insert facts by rules in a ruleFlow). everything is perfect for us, except a little problem of "dispose" with tomcat due to drools. Through the Tomcat console when we try to restart our webapp, tomcat can't dispose the old Devloader (in Eclipse we can see that many drools class use class attribute ClassLoader without any dispose ???) In production, we used different webapps in a Tomcat, so we can't easily stop Tomcat, so until we stop tomcat, the reload of the webapps is longer and longer ... (many devloader(s) can't dispose)... anyone has had this problem ?
