Description

Stan Silvert from JBoss reports:

I'm pretty sure 2.0.1 has a memory leak on undeploy. Mojarra had an undeploy leak and it took a long time to track it down. The same test I was using on Mojarra also failed on MyFaces but I haven't had time to track down the leak in MyFaces.

Maybe this is fixed in 2.0.2? If not maybe someone can go ahead and take a look? The mem leak keeps MyFaces from passing TCK on JBoss AS. To test, all you need to do is create a small exploaded JSF app. Then have a script that touches web.xml every 10 seconds. That will cause the app to redeploy. You will get a PermGen error in about an hour.
