[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMPERSIST-50) Seam transaction potential memory leaks if there is nested @TransactionAttritue

Seam transaction potential memory leaks if there is nested @TransactionAttritue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMPERSIST-50 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMPERSIST-50 Project: Seam Persistence Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Final Environment: Windows, Eclipse, jboss AS 6 Final Reporter: yangju I have been doing some performance testing on cdi beans with @TransactionAttribute in jboss AS 6 final. After my application runs non-stop for a while (I have created 10 threads constantly invoking the ApplicaitonScoped bean to get data from database and then update those data), I got got exception:: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded. This happened when I have Bean A injects Bean B and both A and B are annotated with @TransactionAttribute. These two beans looks up (instead of injecting) entity manager from an entity manager factory (jndi lookup emf first, then emf.createEntityManager()). These beans are not declared as session bean and no SMPC is used. I thought transaction will be propagated from one bean to another, or it only does that for stateful session beans or SMPC? If I remove one of the TransactionAttribute annotation from B then the OOM problem does not occur. This OOM problem also occurs after my application runs for a while in this scenario: Bean A injects Bean B and Bean C; Bean C injects Bean B. I analyzed the heap dump with eclipse memory analyzer and it suspects that the seam 3 transaction interceptor might have memory leaks. I used Eclipse Memory Analyzer to analyze the heap dump when OOM occurred. It says: One instance of "org.jboss.weld.context.CreationalContextImpl" loaded by "org.jboss.classloader.spi.base.BaseClassLoader @ 0xd2b85a08" occupies 387,677,848 (40.99%) bytes.
