Issue in using ThreadLocal -------------------------- Key: JBAS-8389 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8389 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Java EE APIs Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.2.GA Environment: Application Server - Garbage collection Reporter: Arunsakthi Kalyanasundharam Assignee: Shelly McGowan 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
