[jboss-as7-dev] help needed with responding to reported classloader leaks in (Rest, Rest WS, JPA, EJB3 activation/passivation, other)...

[Scott Marlow]

In case you didn't see the forum thread and could help with the below 
issues.

https://community.jboss.org/message/716191 is a forum thread about 
classloader leaks.

Text from the forum thread:

"
Application ClassLoader leaks:

HibernateAnnotationScanner keeps references to application’s ClassLoader 
(minor issue): https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3734

javax.ws.rs.ext.FactoryFinder use application’s Class Loader which 
causes CL Memory Leak: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3735

javax.el.BeanELResolver.properties keeps references to undeployed 
classes: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3736

Threads ContextClassLoader leaks:

AWT AppContext / EventQueue ClassLoader Memory Leaks: 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3733

sun.net.www.http.KeepAliveCache preventing classloader from being 
garbage collected: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3732

Threads ContextClassLoader leak caused by EJB passivation pool: 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3737

ThreadLocal pseudo-leaks:

org.jboss.resteasy.util.ThreadLocalStack creates ThreadLocal pseudo-leak 
on AS 7: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-660
"

I have a fix for the JPA leak but not sure about the others.

The ejb passivation pool leak probably needs the TCCL to be cleared when 
new threads are created for the GroupAwareBackingCacheImpl.
