Memory leak in remoting-jmx --------------------------- Key: REMJMX-94 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/REMJMX-94 Project: Remoting JMX Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.1.3.Final Reporter: Libor Zoubek Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Labels: memory_leak In RHQ plugin We're experiencing a memory leak when we talk to EAP over remoting-jmx. Leak is very notable once we restart our plugin container (each plugin has in it's own classloader) Classes owned by RHQ Server plugin don't get GCed. I am able to reproduce mem leak without RHQ agent and plugin infrastructure repeating following steps: 1. start new thread 2. assign URL classloader to this thread (point it to jboss-client.jar) 3. connect & disconnect to jmx-remoting endpoint In this test no classes don't get GCed which after serveral iterations ends up in OOM. My test/example is here https://github.com/lzoubek/remotingjmx-leak/blob/master/src/main/java/org... I am not sure if memleak is in remoting-jmx or some other underlying stuff. I thought https://issues.jboss.org/browse/REM3-200 was related, but workaround mentioned does not help.
