Description

Hello

We are running our web application on weblogic jrockit and having serious memory leaks , after around 4 hrs of load testing memory of server (having java heap of 2 GB) goes down 100% and than never comes down (though session timing out )

In the JRMC control when we saw what all objects are hanging in memory , we found there is about 1.5 GB of memory eatan up by char array , when further inspected almost most of them are created by Xobj$ElementXobj which are having almost 40000 cyclic refernces . Objects of this class are pointing back to itself and are never getting garbage collected..

We are using lots of xml parsing vis factory.parse method of xmlobject . I am not sure where this xobj$ElementXobj is used by xml beans and we are cluelass why its growing so much ..

any help would be god send.

Thanks
Saket
