memory leak?

[shoran]

I have a session bean that calls an entity bean that reads a row from a mysql (doesn't matter what the backend is) database in a loop. At the end of the loop I call the Runtime class to get the free memory. Each time I run a test client reading 10,000 rows, I have about 30Mb less free memory until the jvm runs out of memory. I have tweaked the standardjboss.xml's max-capacity for each entity type. I set it to 100 in an effort to constrain bean creation and encourage reuse. I see the beans passivate, but memory consumption grows. Is there an issue with getting rid of the EJBObject associated with the bean? I am on Win2k pro, JBoss 3.2.1.

Thanks,
Seth

I ran my test in 3.2.2 RC3 and there was no leak. Looks like it has been fixed from 3.2.1.

As it turns out, connections were not being released properly, because in transaction-service.xml true was set by default. In later versions of jboss this is false and there are no leaks.
