[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBRULES-1583) Heap and scheduled Activations

Heap and scheduled Activations ------------------------------ Key: JBRULES-1583 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1583 Project: JBoss Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 4.0.4 Environment: Windows XP / Eclipse Europa / Java 1.5 / drools 4.0.4 Reporter: s s Assigned To: Mark Proctor Fix For: 4.0.7, 5.0.0-M1 Hi everyone, I've wrote that rule: rule "COMPTEUR" duration 10000 when $alarme : Alarm (); then $alarme.increment(); update($alarme); end Using JProfile, I've noticed that PropagationContextImpl was constantly growing in the heap. Then, I looked the scheduled activations and saw that some scheduledExecutionTime was expired. So, I wrote this code to purge the expired activations: Activation[] activations = session.getAgenda().getScheduledActivations(); long now = (new Date()).getTime(); for(int i=0;i<activations.length;i++){ if( now > ((org.drools.common.ScheduledAgendaItem)activations[i]).scheduledExecutionTime()){ activations[i].remove(); } } Now, the heap isn't growing anymore but what are the consequences of doing something like that? So far, there are no noticeable regression on my application. Thanks for your help.
