User development, A new message was posted in the thread "jBPM 4.3 - Will cause memory leaks due to unclosed InitialContext()": http://community.jboss.org/message/522139#522139 Author : Ronald van Kuijk Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/kukeltje Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- I still would like to see if it is realy a problem. I agree that you should close a context if you use a *remote* one, or a specially created one with properties, but in case you use the *default platform one* it might cause problems.   And the one mentioned in http://community.jboss.org/thread/147161?tstart=0 is used in a static method. What is the difference using     InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext() initialContext.lookup(....)     In a static method and using   InitialContext.doLookup(...)     Which internally does (not surprisingly)   return new InitialContext().lookup(....)     You cannot even close it then... So...   Yet, I'm not an expert in this area.... -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/522139#522139
