[jboss-user] [JBossCache] - Re: Memory leak when using JbossCache and JOTM

[bstansberry@jboss.com]

Does the reference chain from the JOTM object lead through a javax.transaction.Synchronization implementation?  For example, org.jboss.cache.interceptors.TxInterceptor$RemoteSynchronizationHandler (or TxInterceptor$LocalSynchronizationHandler)?

If not, please post the full reference chain.

If so, two possibilites:

1) JOTM is holding onto the ref to the Synchronization for a little while, but will eventually clean it up and your object will be gc'd.

2) JOTM is holding a ref to the Synchronization and won't ever release it.  That would be a bug in JOTM.

See http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=164 for a question I raised with our transaction gurus that deals with a strategy we could employ to aggressively cut the reference chain.
