Application with log4j causes perm gen leak across redeployments
Issue
- Our application has log4j bundled in it. After redeploying this app several times, we hit a perm gen OOME. The heap dump shows many of the application classloaders persisted by a still running log4j PropertyWatchdog or FileWatchdog thread.
Environment
- JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
- log4j
