Issue in using ThreadLocal
--------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-8389
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8389
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Java EE APIs
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.2.GA
         Environment: Application Server - Garbage collection
            Reporter: Arunsakthi Kalyanasundharam
            Assignee: Shelly McGowan
             Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA


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.
