Memory issue with JBossCache replication
We are having with a memory issue with JBossCache replication (please see description attached below). We saw the posting in
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-33 and http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-31. We are wondering if we are running into the same problem. What do you think?
In http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-31, Bela Ban indicated that the problem was not reproducible in JDK 1.5 (we are using JDK 1.4) and he is going to investigate this with JDK 1.4. Any progress in this issue yet?
Thanks,
Tim

Description of the problem:
To summarize, this is what we did yesterday (after hooking up JProbe to crm_workflow_2):
insert 2 objects to the samekey on crm_workflow (asynchronously replicated to crm_workflow_2) and retrieve them from crm_workflow_2
force garbage collection and take heapdumps
insert another 100 objects to the samekey on crm_workflow and retrieve them from crm_workflow_2
force garbage collection and take heapdumps
insert another 100 objects to the samekey on crm_workflow and retrieve them from crm_workflow_2
force garbage collection and take heapdumps
insert another 100 objects to the samekey on crm_workflow and retrieve them from crm_workflow_2
force garbage collection and take heapdumps
We observed around 9 MB ?leak? on both crm_workflow and crm_workflow_2, and JProbe indicated that it?s related to JGroups. The heapdumps taken confirmed that as well. Objects belonging to org/jgroups grew as more PUTs were invoked. The number of cached object inside the TreeCache remained only one per JVM.
