[jboss-user] [JBossCache] - ModificationEntry memory leak when aspectized object used in

[tfila]

Hello,


I believe that there is a memory leak in the PojoCache (JBossCache-1.4.1.SP3) when storing aspectized objects in a collection in the cache.  ModifcationEntry objects are added to the PojoCache undoListLocal_ ThreadLocal object, but are never removed after a successful commit to the cache and contain references to the objects being placed in the cache.  The undoListLocal_ list continues to grow while the same thread is used to make modifications to the cache.

Below is a unit test which shows this behavior.

The corresponding jboss-aop.xml is


  | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  | 
  | <aop>
  |    
  |    <prepare expr="field(* org.jboss.cache.aop.collection.MyReplicatedClass->*)" />
  | 
  | </aop>
  | 

The META-INF/replAsync-service.xml that comes with the JBossCache tests  can be used.

The unit test contains two tests: the first (testPojoMapModList) adds Serializable objects to the collection in the PojoCache; and the other (testPojoAopMapModList) adds AOP'd objects to the collection.  In the first test after adding Serializable objects to the collection, the undoListLocal_ object is clean.  In the second test after adding the AOP'd objects to the collection, the undoListLocal_ still contains all ModificationEntry objects from the transactions used to update the collection.  This behavior is also seen is earlier versions of the PojoCache.

The ModificationEntry (PojoCache.undoListLocal_) list can be retrieved from the PojoCache through the getModList() method for the executing thread.  Is it safe to clear this list manually after the transaction has been completed?  If so this would be a usable solution for this version.  The other solution is to use non-AOP'd (i.e. Serializable objects) in the collection, though that is not optimal.  

Any thoughts or other work around would be appreciated.

Thanks.
