             Summary: Possible memory leak: MarshallerReaderContext held indefinitely by ReteooStatefulSession
                 Key: DROOLS-35
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-35
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 5.5
         Environment: Oracle JDK7
            Reporter: Magnus Vojbacke
            Assignee: Mark Proctor


It seems that the memory consumption increases after a session has been unmarshalled. That is to say: an unmarshalled session of size x uses  much more memory than if I had started with an empty session and inserted x number of facts.

Digging into a memory profile, I found that after unmarshalling, my ReteooStatefulSession instance holds on to a MarshallerReaderContext instance. The MarshallerReaderContext consumes a lot of memory.

Digging into the unmarshalling code, it seems that the MarshallerReaderContext is a utility class used during unmarshalling of sessions. Intuitively, it seems wrong that a reference to this object should be held after unmarshalling is finished.
