[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBREM-721) Fix memory leaks in bisocket transport and LeasePinger

Fix memory leaks in bisocket transport and LeasePinger ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBREM-721 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM-721 Project: JBoss Remoting Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.2.0.Beta1 (Bluto) Reporter: Ron Sigal Assigned To: Ron Sigal Fix For: 2.2.0.GA (Bluto) 1. The bisocket transport is failing to remove unused objects from static maps. Also, it seems that calling cancel() on a TimerTask marks it as cancelled, but it doesn't remove the TimerTask from the Timer's heap until the TImerTask comes to the head of the heap. Therefore, a busy Timer could keep TimerTasks around for a while with references to objects that cannot be garbage collected. To prevent this problem, TImerTasks should be defined as static classes, with all of the objects it needs from the outer class passed in to the constructor. When the TimerTask is cancelled, it should set its instance variables to null. 2. Bisocket uses some TimerTasks. 3. LeasePinger uses some TimerTasks.
