[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBAS-8389) Issue in using ThreadLocal

Issue in using ThreadLocal -------------------------- Key: JBAS-8389 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8389 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: z - Legacy - Other Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.2.GA Environment: Application Server - Garbage collection Reporter: Arunsakthi Kalyanasundharam Assignee: Shelly McGowan Labels: collection, garbage, threadlocal Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA I'm using Threadlocal in a web component. By definition, threadlocal variables should be cleared by end of execution of the thread. In case Application server, since its using a thread pool, the threadlocal variables are not cleared / garbage collected. This is leading to memory leakage (out of memory errors) and inconsistent behavior of the application since the variables are not getting cleared off.
