[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-2786) ThreadLocal memory leak in Tomcat

[Johann Burkard (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2786?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12773517#comment-12773517 ] 

Johann Burkard commented on ISPN-2786:
--------------------------------------

Jim,

ThreadLocal#remove needs to be called by each thread after it's done using the ThreadLocal. If you just call ThreadLocal#remove somewhere during shutdown of the application, there might still be references to old threads left.
