[jboss-as7-dev] cache java.lang.Proxy?

[Stuart Douglas]

Not sure exactly what you mean here. The actual cache looks something like (or would look like this if the code used generics):

WeakHashMap<ClassLoader, Map<List<String>, WeakReference<Class>> loaderToCache;

As both the proxy class and the CL are held weakly, it should not stop anything being GC'ed.
