A large amount of java.beans.GenericBeanInfo objects retained due to BeanUtils maps

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We experience a java heap space memory leak due to a large amount of java.beans.GenericBeanInfo objects retained from BeanUtils maps. These GenericBeanInfos are entries in a WeakHashMap, using proxies as their keys. Those proxies are strongly referenced in the BeanUtils map, preventing the release of these GenericBeanInfos.

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
