While preparing an article on the Plumbr memory leak analysis tool[1], Pierre - Hugues Charbonneau noted that the tool had detected a leak of org.jboss.weld.context.SerializableContextualInstanceImpl. I asked Pierre - Hugues for more information and kindly replied at [2].

Note that there was a fair amount of work on finding and fixing undeployment/redeployment related leaks before and after WF 8 Alpha3. But this test did not involve undeploy/redeploy, just external requests against a deployment.
