Hi,

I have a problem running my app that implements webservice using Provider api. After ~4hrs of mild load AS goes out of memory.

I'm using JBoss 5.0.1 with sun jdk 1.6.0_14. Configuration is
-Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=1800000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=1800000

My endpoints defined as follows:

@WebServiceProvider(serviceName = "StorageService", portName = "External", wsdlLocation = "WEB-INF/wsdl/storage.wsdl")
@BindingType(value = HTTPBinding.HTTP_BINDING)
@ServiceMode(value = Service.Mode.PAYLOAD)
public class StorageServiceExternalProvider extends AbstractServiceProvider implements Provider<Source> {

 @Resource(type = Object.class)
 protected WebServiceContext wsContext;

 public Source invoke(Source req) {
 MessageContext mc = wsContext.getMessageContext();
 String path = ((String) mc.get(MessageContext.PATH_INFO)).substring(1);
 return invoke(path, req);
 }

 protected String getJndiNameSLSB() {
 return "StorageExternalSarco/local";
 }
}

public abstract class AbstractServiceProvider {
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(AbstractServiceProvider.class);

 protected abstract String getJndiNameSLSB();

 public Source invoke(String path, Source req) {

 JAXBContext jc = null;
 Object local;
 Method[] localMethods;

 try {
 InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
 local = ic.lookup(getJndiNameSLSB());
 ic.close();
 localMethods = local.getClass().getMethods();

 jc = StorageJAXBContext.getContext();

 } catch (Throwable t) {
 log.error("Unable to initialize", t);
 return new DOMSource();
 }

 Reader decoded;
 Object in = null;
 try {

 decoded = new StringReader(URLDecoder.decode(req.toString(), "utf8"));
 in = jc.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(decoded);

 if (in instanceof JAXBElement<?>)
 in = ((JAXBElement<?>)in).getValue();

 for (Method m : localMethods)
 if (m.getName().equals(path))
 {
 Object result = m.invoke(local, in);
 Class<?> retType = m.getReturnType();
 if (retType == Void.TYPE)
 return new DOMSource();
 else
 return new JAXBSource(jc, result);
 }

 throw new Exception("Accessing invalid path: " + path);

 } catch (Throwable e) {
 log.error("Error processing invocation for path: " + path + ", input type is: " + (in == null ? "NULL" : in.getClass()), e);
 return new DOMSource();
 }
 }

web.xml:

<servlet>
 <servlet-name>StorageServiceExternalProvider</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>com.photoholding.storage.StorageServiceExternalProvider</servlet-class>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>StorageServiceExternalProvider</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/External/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

I tried to do jmap profiling and it shows lots of B[ and C[ objects growing with time. Looks like "Provider" instance is never released and GC skips it - size of the OldGen grows until GC can't handle it.

Any help is appreciated.
