[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-4617) Huge garbage created at regular intervals in Wildfly 8.2.0.Final

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-4617?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13066721#comment-13066721 ] 

Stuart Douglas commented on WFLY-4617:
--------------------------------------

According to your request dump it looks like the primary culprit is a ThreadLocal that is hanging onto the HttpServletRequest directly, probably after the request is finished. Hanging into it for longer may result in it being promoted and then it will require a full GC to remove. 

Is it possible there is anything in your framework/application that is doing this?

> Huge garbage is created in wildfly every couple of minutes. Though Full GC is able to reclaim memory, this causes frequent full gcs, as heap is getting occupied due to the increase in number of objects created . We can reproduce this issue in 60 users Jmeter loadtest. This was not the case in Jboss 7.1.1Final. 
> After analyzing heapdumps,   Huge char arrays are created and they are not garbage collected by Minor GC.  Incoming reference for the char array suggest that they have valid reference to io.undertow.servlet.spec.HttpServletRequestImpl. However full gc is able to recover the memory. Not sure why attributes in  io.undertow.servlet.spec.HttpServletRequestImpl are not getting gced by minor gc's.
> "org.apache.struts.tiles.ComponentContext"  is kept in  attributes Map by io.undertow.servlet.spec.HttpServletRequestImpl.  org.apache.struts.tiles.ComponentContext contains a big char array.
> We suspect issue with undertow.
