> I'm using Threadlocal in a web component. By definition, threadlocal variables should be cleared by end of execution of the thread. In case Application server, since its using a thread pool, the threadlocal variables are not cleared / garbage collected.
> This is leading to memory leakage (out of memory errors) and inconsistent behavior of the application since the variables are not getting cleared off.
