Description

commons.io opens a thread that is never stopped. The result is that a reference from a container class (jboss threads pool) to my webapp classloader is never released and my webapp classloader is never garbaged. After serveral deploy/undeploy cycles I experience an "OutOfMemoryError : PermGen".

I did open an issue in commons.io : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-99

I also open an issue here as I think commons.fileupload have concerns about webapp environnements
