Severe Memory Leak in 10.1.0.3

Hi,
There exists a severe leak of element names (QxName), when garbage collecting elements, which has been constructed as;
XMLDocument doc = new XMLDocument();
doc.createElement("AnyName");
After GC references in oracle.xml.util.QxNameHash$WeakValue still exists.
It's very easy to reproduce;
for (;;) {
XMLDocument doc = new XMLDocument();
doc.createElement("AnyName");
thanks,

We are building products, which relies on Oracle XML technology, and this is a major issue (P1) in large 7/24 production systems. Would
appreciate any suggestion to work-around...

Additional information;
First a minor correction, the actual leak is not direct references element names, but rather weak references (left after GC) to such names (each weak reference allocates 32 bytes).
In our system the leak is approx. 0.67 MB/hour, or 16MB during a 24h period, and it processes about 100 XML documents/second.
The problem seems to be very trivial (deep knowledge in Java and GC is not required, even though the semantics of weak references is a bit fuzzy), and I really hope you guys will take an appropriate action...
thanks,

PS My previous example works fine in the OptimizeIT tool, due to the specific GC behavior. If you'll do the same in a plain JVM, then it's best to reduce the heap size, and allocate something large before creating the XML element.

  • Problem Report: Severe memory leak in Flash Player 9.0

    Summary
    Flash player 9.0 is prone to a severe memory leak when
    playing SWF files produced by Captivate 1 containing full-motion
    recordings.
    Versions affected
    The problem reproduces with Flash player 9.0 (Flash9.ocx,
    Version 9.0.16.0) hosted in either Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla
    Firefox 1.5 on a Windows XP SP2 system.
    The problem does not reproduce with Flash player 8.0
    (Flash8.ocx, Version 8.0.22.0) in the same environment.
    Description
    After a few minutes playing a SWF file produced by Captivate
    1 containing a full-motion recording recorded with Captivate 1, the
    host browser ends up using more than a gigabyte of memory, and the
    playback of the movie slows down to a halt, together with
    responsiveness of the whole system.
    Impact
    Our organization develops E-learning content with Captivate 1
    for various customers, mostly Fortune 100 companies.
    This bug severely limits our ability to deliver content to
    our customers.
    Steps to reproduce
    1. Using Captivate 1.01.1418, create a “blank
    movie” with default settings.
    2. Use the “Record” button and begin recording a
    full-motion movie for about 2-4 minutes. For the purposes of this
    bug, it is enough to record a user typing random text in a Notepad
    window resized to fit in the default 800x600 window.
    3. After recording the full-motion movie, publish the
    Captivate movie as a “Flash (SWF)” movie, using default
    settings (making sure that the “export HTML” checkbox
    is selected).
    4. Open the published movie’s HTML file with a host
    browser, making sure that the browser is using the Flash 9.0
    player.
    5. While the movie is playing, watch the memory usage of the
    browser process using Windows Task Manager, and you will see that
    the values of the “Mem Usage” and “VM Size”
    counters keep increasing until the system becomes unusable.

  • Severe memory leak in LR5 (CC release v5.0) when cropping (rotating) images

    I have a Quadcore i7 iMac with 12GB of memory.  When I start LR5, there is 8GB remaining.  With nothing else being done, as a edit some images, and especially when I am rotating images in the crop tool to level the horizon, fI sometimes get the "OSX beachball" and the memory immediately drops from 8GB to 10-20MB!!!  The disk goes crazy and LR5 and the entire machine slows to a crawl.  The only way to bring it back is to Force Quit LR5.  But this has happened with the same picture twice already and am getting ready to try #3.
    Please fix this .... this is definitely a bug as there is no reason it should eat 8GB of memory for doing an image rotate.

    There are a number of bugs that have been logged against crop/roate in Lr5. The engineering team are currently working to fix these.

  • Severe Memory Leak in Mavericks When Downloading

    I have a Macbook Pro running 10.9.3 with 10 gigs of RAM.  The RAM works fine and checked out fine in AHT.  Since updating to 10.9.3 when I download things from Steam, iTunes, Mac App Store, etc. the available memory goes significantly down when only running one of the programs at a time.  It gets to dangerously low points around 7-8 MB available (monitored by memory clean and activity monitor.).  The faster the internet connection, the faster the memory is depleted.  It's like its downloading to ram and then writing to disk instead.   When it gets too low I purge the memory through a terminal program I wrote as it clears up more memory than memory clean.
    Even after cleaning the memory it still depletes fast if I'm downloading something.  However If I'm not downloading anything on those apps they use little to no memory at all.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Severe memory leaks on certain sites

    Followed FAQ advice and installed Leak Monitor add-on. Occasional leaks occur while surfing. On one site (Chase Bank online banking) leaks occur so often I can't keep up with closing the Leak Monitor alert windows. Why does this occur on particular sites? Is it a problem with the site or with Firefox (3.5.9)? What can be done about it? Thanks.
    == URL of affected sites ==

  • Memory leak in Application

    Hi,
    we're load testing an application using Coherence. It uses a distributed cache, with an web application as the client, and separate cache servers implementing a Cache Store.
    We're getting several memory leaks and one area that was reported was a great number of instances for the com.tangosol.coherence.component.util.daemon.queueProcessor.service.DistributedCache$GetRequest class.
    Does anybody know what could cause these instances to be left hanging around? I think the Coherence classes ar a symptom of another problem rather than an issue with Coherence itself but it would be useful to know what could cause these objects to be left in the heap.
    Thanks
    Mike

    After further load testing, our application definitely seems to be leaking Coherence objects.
    The classes seem to be com.tangosol.util.Binary &
    com.tangosol.coherence.component.util.daemon.queueProcessor.service.DistributedCache$GetRequest.
    During testing, the number of Binary objects rose 0 to about 9000 and the number of GetRequest objects rose from 0 to about 3600 in two hours.
    The application stores objects in the cache and updates them, the main operation being to add to a very long log string required by the client to these objects, which represent sessions.
    Our test keeps a constant number of these objects in the cache during the run, removing the same number it creates after it has ramped up to full load testing.
    The application is stateless, it recieves frequent requests to get an object from the cache, work on it and put it back in the cache. The cache also has a cache store to persist the data to a database.
    Are there any references to the cache objects that would stop them being garbage collected?
    Our whole application is based in a simple stateless reqest/response operation and I cannot see where the huge number of objects is coming from.

  • Observed Memory Leak When Invoking Controls in Workshop 8.1 sp3

    Hello,
    We have developed a website using Bea Portal 8.1 sp3. In testing we have observed severe memory leaking problems which occur also in the production environment where WebLogic is not being run in debug mode. The troubleshooting was started by profiling the testing environment (running in debug mode) using JProfiler. The leak was isolated to occur especially in control method invocation via InvocationHandler call. The object being leaked was character array. After further study we noticed that the method call which this framework InvocationHandler was delegating had especially large return value. Namely a map consisting of ~5Mb of content. After reviewing our own code for possible leak source and coming up with nothing obviously wrong we started to suspect that something was leaking memory in the WebLogic framework code. As the leaked object was character array we suspected that the framework was calling toString() method of the return value and the string was never released. To prove this we constructed a small test program which just demonstrated passing large object as arguments and return values in invocations to WebLogic Workshop control from page flow. The memory consumption in WebLogic monitor and console output proved that indeed the toString() method was invoked 1 times in invocation per argument and 2 times per return value. Furthermore by returning empty string in one test and string of several megabytes in other from toString() one could observe exactly matching memory leaking. Manual running of the garbage collector did not release the memory.
    To resolve this problem we have tried to alter the Workshop logging configuration in WorkshopLogCfg.xml. Lowering the log level to debug in categories caused much more invocations to the toString() of the arguments. We did not monitor the memory leaking in this test. Raising all the category levels to fatal did not have effect compared to the original settings. Also removing all categories did not have effect on toString() calls.
    We have established quite reliably that this leak occurs with our configuration both in development environment (Windows XP) and testing environment (Redhat Linux) both running WebLogic in debug mode. Both of these environments have out of the box log configuration. We have also observed memory leaking in production environment but it has not yet been profiled to see whether the leak is 100% surely due to this same problem.
    We have not yet tested this in sp5 nor sp6. Switching service packs is not solution for as in the moment as we are not able to switch the service pack in production environment due to reasons which are out of our control.
    We would appreciate confirmation whether this issue is real and any solutions available like configuration modification, patching or switching service pack. Also links to existing articles about this issue would be nice to have.
    We can provide the testing code and some screenshots of memory usage via email. You can request it from tommi.laukkanen at xiiris.com.

    PS. This is the console out from the test page flow invoking the control:
    We have manually thrown and catched exceptions in toString() method to get the stack trace printed to console out.

    Hi
    I did not find any known issues on this. But since you can replicate the issue, could you please contact BEA Support and open a case and have this followed?
    Since we may have to do some testing/profiling etc with different service packs with your sample, it would be better to follow up via a support case.
    Thanks

  • Pro*c multithreaded application has memory leak

    Hi there,
    I posted this message a week ago in OCI section, nobody answer me.
    I am really curious if my application has a bug or the pro*c has a bug.
    Anyone can compile the sample code and test it easily.
    I made multithreaded application which queries dynamic SQL, it works.
    But the memory leaks when i query the SQL statement.
    The more memory leaks, the more i query the SQL statement, even same SQL
    statement.
    I check it with top, shell command.
    My machine is SUN E450, Solaris 8. Oracle 9.2.0.1
    Compiler : gcc (GCC) 3.2.2
    I changed source code which is from
    $(ORACLE_HOME)/precomp/demo/proc/sample10.pc
    the sample10 doesn't need to be multithreaded. But i think it has to work
    correctly if i changed it to multithreaded application.
    the make file and source code will be placed below.
    I have to figure out the problem.
    Please help
    Thanks in advance,

    Sample Program 10: Dynamic SQL Method 4
    This program connects you to ORACLE using your username and
    password, then prompts you for a SQL statement. You can enter
    any legal SQL statement. Use regular SQL syntax, not embedded SQL.
    Your statement will be processed. If it is a query, the rows
    fetched are displayed.
    You can enter multi-line statements. The limit is 1023 characters.
    This sample program only processes up to MAX_ITEMS bind variables and
    MAX_ITEMS select-list items. MAX_ITEMS is #defined to be 40.

    from the length (select_dp->L).
    sqlnul() is used to reset the high-order bit of
    the datatype and to check whether the column
    is NOT NULL.
    CHAR datatypes have length, but zero precision and
    scale. The length is defined at CREATE time.
    NUMBER datatypes have precision and scale only if
    defined at CREATE time. If the column
    definition was just NUMBER, the precision
    and scale are zero, and you must allocate
    the required maximum length.
    DATE datatypes return a length of 7 if the default
    format is used. This should be increased to
    9 to store the actual date character string.
    If you use the TO_CHAR function, the maximum
    length could be 75, but will probably be less
    (you can see the effects of this in SQL*Plus).
    ROWID datatype always returns a fixed length of 18 if
    coerced to CHAR.

    What is your operating system and your hardware platform?
    For how long have been the application running?
    What is your current container size?
    What's set for EnvironmentConfig.setThreaded?
    Do you know if containers have previously not been closed correctly?
    Can you please post the entire error output?
    What's the JDK version, 1.4 or 1.5?

  • APEX 4.1.1 Memory Leak in IE7

    Hi,
    We busy upgrading our apex and db from 3.0/10G to 4.1.1/11.2G and notice that there appears to be a memory leak when using APEX. At one stage we have had IE7 using over a gig of memory.
    When you load or refresh your page IE7 seems to grab on average 2-5MB of memory for each page load. At first we thought it may have been our apps or setup but this also happens when we go to app 4550 page 1 on apex.oracle.com.
    How to replicate:
    Open task manager to view the Memory Usage.
    Using IE7
    1. Go to http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4550:1
    2. Go back to Task Manager and note the readings once the CPU Usage for iexplore.exe has stablised to 0.
    3. go back to IE7 and press F5
    4. Repeat steps 2-3 and you will see the Memory usage increases.
    We think this maybe due to a few jQuery UI memory leaks within IE7 and thought this bug ticket maybe of interest http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/7666 (Slightly different versions but similiar experiences)
    Could someone else confirm that they also experience the increasing or have had similiar problems and managed to resolve it?
    TBH, it wouldn't be an issue to use another browser like Firefox to access the builder but this also affects the applications if they include APEX standard Javascript and CSS.
    Thanking you in advance.

Don't have exact steps for replication or precise numbers, but I have noticed this in passing. On the junk that my client considers a PC suitable for web development the typical IE7 memory footprint with the APEX 3.0 builder and several other tabs running is about 52MB. Add APEX 4.1.1 and it climbs constantly until I have to pull the plug when it gets north of 150MB as the PC can't take it.
    As well that I also have Firefox and 4.1.1 is still experimental at that site...
    At the moment I don't have to resolve it and if I did the only option I'd propose is the replacement of IE7.

    I saw that eariler this week. I do agree with the concept though.So take appropriate action: charge extra for IE7 support.
    The amount of work and effort involved in making our website look normal on IE7 equalled the combined time of designing for Chrome, Safari and Firefox.Is entirely accurate. If it's stated as a requirement, itemise it as an extra on the quote.
    Educate management and bean counters: show them the one line of standards-compliant CSS that's all that is necessary in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera (and just possibly in IE8/9/10), how it isn't supported in IE7, and the tortuous hacks and workarounds that are required to get something equivalent working there.

  • DataSocket memory leak problem (2VO0SF00) -- more info?

    When upgrading to LabVIEW 8.5 recently, I noticed the following known issue in the readme file:
    "ID: 2VO0SF00
    DataSocket/OPC Leaks Memory using ActiveX VIs to perform open-write-close repeatedly
    If you call the DataSocket Open, DataSocket Write, and DataSocket Close functions in succession repeatedly, LabVIEW leaks memory. Workaround — To correct this problem, call the DataSocket Open function once, use the DataSocket Write function to write multiple times, and then use the DataSocket Close function."
    Looking back, I think this problem may have been present in previous LabVIEW releases as well, and might be giving rise to a problem that's been dogging me for quite some time (see my thread, "Error 66 with DataSockets", http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=187206), in addition to general slow/glitchy behaviour when my VI's have been running continuously for a long time. But in order to determine whether or not this issue affects me, and how I should go about fixing it in the context of my own programs, I need a bit more information about the nature of the issue itself and the inner workings of the DataSocket VI's. Any help or insight the community can provide into this would be greatly appreciated!
    Here are my questions:
    It is my understanding from the "known issue" description above that the memory leak happens when you have a DS Open wired to a DS Write wired to a DS Close, all inside a loop (example 1), and that the suggested workaround would be to move the DS Open and DS Close functions out of the loop on opposite sides, wired to the DS Write which remains inside the loop (example 2). Is this correct?
    Does this leak also happen when performing DS open-read-close's repeatedly (example 3)?
    What happens when a DS Write (or DS Read) is called without a corresponding DS Open and DS Close (examples 4a and 4b)? Does it implicitly do a DS open before doing the write operation and a DS close afterwards? What I'm getting at is this: would having an isolated DS Write (or DS Read) inside a loop, not connected to any DS Open or DS Close functions at all, cause this same memory leak?
    If one computer is running the DS server and a second computer is running the VI with the repeated open-write-close's, on which computer does the memory leak occur?
    In my question #1 workaround (example 2), the DS Open and DS Close outside the loop are routed through a shift register and in to and out of the DS Write inside the loop. If the DS connection id goes into the DS Write "connection in" and then splits and goes around the DS Write and out to the DS Close, without coming out of the DS Write "connection out" (example 5), will the memory leak still be avoided? I.e. if the DS Write function doesn't have anything connected to its "connection out", will it try to do an implicit DS Close?
    If the VI causing the memory leak is stopped, but LabVIEW stays running, will the leaked memory be reclaimed? What if the VI is closed? What if all of LabVIEW is closed?
    FYI, in the examples above "x1a" is a statically-defined DataSocket on the DS server running on the computer Max, to which the computer running the example VI's has read/write access. My actual application has numerous VI's and hundreds of DataSocket items, many of which are written to / read from every 50-100 ms in the style of examples 4a and 4b.
    Does anyone have any idea about this stuff?
    Thanks in advance,
    Patrick

    Hi Meghan,
    Yes, some of the larger VIs in my application do write to / read from several hundred DataSockets, so it's not feasible to use shift registers for each one individually, and hence why I'm passing the references into an array, etc.
    Your Alternate Solution 2 is more along the lines of something that would work for me. However, my actual code has a lot of nested loops, sequences and DataSocket items which are not all written to in the same frame, so this solution would still be difficult to implement: it would be cumbersome to unpack the entire 500-element reference id array and build a new one (maintaining the positions and values of the unaffected elements) every time I write to some small subset of the DataSockets.
    I think I have a solution which solves the problem and is also scalable to the size of my application -- I've attached it as Example 7. Do you think this will avoid the memory leak? It's the same as your Alternate Solution 2, except that instead of building a new array out of the DS Write reference outs, each reference out replaces the appropriate element of the original array.
    If I understand you correctly, in order to avoid implicit reference opens and closes, a DS Write needs to have both it's reference in and reference out wired to something. Thus, even though my Example 7 replaces an element of the array with an identical value, and therefore doesn't actually change the array (which would be a silly thing to do normally), the DS Writes have their reference outs wired to something, and eventually in a convoluted way to a DS Close, so it should avoid the memory leak.
    Just out of curiosity (I don't think anything like this would apply to my application or any fixes I implement), when would the implicit reference close happen in the attached Example 8? The DS Write has its reference in and reference out both connected to temporally "adjacent" DS Writes via the shift register, so perhaps it wouldn't try to close the reference on each loop iteration? Or would it look into the future and see that there is no DS Close and decide to implicitly do that itself? Or maybe only the DS Write on the last loop iteration does this?
    Thanks for bearing with me through this,
    Patrick

  • How to configure license file for Memory Leak tool and WL Server 9.2?

    (I posted to general JRockit forum before realizing existence of this forum which is probably more applicable.)
    Here's our problem:
    Running latest version of WL 9.2 MP3 and JRockit Mission Control 3.0.1
    Able to run Mission Control, and connect to the WL Server and to run View Console with no problems.
    I can't get Memory Leak tool to run because it complains about needing a license file.
    First I tried with off the shelf WL 9.2 MP3.
    Get error:
    A license for Memory Leak Detector could not be found on the JRockit at (1.5) weblogic.Server (192).
    Error: Can not find component Memory Leak Detector for JRockit * in the license file. Please check http://www.jrockit.com/license for license updates.
    So I downloaded license file from JRockit download site - wls92.zip. It contains several files, but no clear instructions on what to do with these files. I copied one of these files "LIC-WLSP92.txt" to my JRockit home as C:\bea\JROCKI~1\jre\license.bea
    Tried again. Restarted WL server. Restarted JRockit Mission Control.
    Get error: A license for Memory Leak Detector could not be found on the JRockit at (1.5) weblogic.Server (3052).
    The license file does not exist at: C:\bea\JROCKI~1\jre\license.bea
    Any advise on how to install license or who to contact for help?

    Installed Mission Control 3.0.3.
    Got following message when I attempted to run Memory Leak:
    A license for Memory Leak Detector could not be found on the JRockit at (1.5) weblogic.Server (192).
    Error: Can not find component Memory Leak Detector for JRockit * in the license file.
    Please check http://www.jrockit.com/license for license updates.
    I believe that we're using the latest downloads of WebLogic 9.2.x and JRockit.
    WebLogic is running using 9.2.3 and JRockit build R27.4.0-90_CR358515-94243-1.5.0_12-20080118-1154-windows-ia2
    Contents of C:\bea\jrockit_150_12\jre\license.bea:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <bea-licenses>
    <license-group format="1.0" product="JRockit" release="*">
    </license-group>
    </bea-licenses>
    Could WebLogic be misconfigured?
    Any diagnostics to help figure out the licensing?
    Any other ideas?

  • HTTPService + XML Load + Memory Leak

    Hi all....
    I have noticed a memory leak in my application. This leak was
    not apparent when the application was completed some months back
    which is what left me a little confused as all I have done since
    was upgrade to Flex 3 and possibly updated / changed my Flash
    player.
    I think I have found the cause to this problem (below) but am
    not 100% sure that it is the "actual" problem or any reasons to
    back my thoughts up, so have listed what I have checked / tried
    along the way (maybe I have missed something)....
    My Discovery Process:
    I started profiling my application but did not find anything
    out of the ordinary. I did a code walk-through double checking I
    had cleaned up after myself, removing and even nulling all items
    etc but still to now success - the leak is still there.
    I have profiled the app in the profiler for reasonably long
    periods of time.
    All the classes etc being used within the app are consistent
    in size and instance amount and there is no sign of any apparent
    leak.
    I am using a HTTPService that is loading XML data which I am
    refreshing every 5 seconds. On this 5 second data refresh some
    class instances are incremented but are restored to the expected
    amount after a GC has occurred. The GC seems to take longer, the
    longer the app is running, therefore more and more instances are
    being added to the app, but when the GC eventually runs it "seems"
    to clear these instances to the expected amount.
    After scratching my head for a while I decided to make a copy
    of my application, rip everything out, and focus in my data load,
    where I found a problem!
    I have now just a HTTPService that loads an XML file every 5
    seconds, and this is all I currently have in the app (as I ripped
    the rest of the code out), e.g:
    Code:
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    ....... creationComplete="initApp()" >
    <mx:HTTPService
    id="httpServiceResults"
    url="
    http://myIP:myPort/myRoot/myXML.cfm"
    resultFormat="e4x"
    result="httpResultHandler(event)" />
    <script....... >
    private var timerPulse:Timer;
    private function initApp():void
    httpServiceResults.send();
    timerPulse = new Timer(5000, 0);
    private function httpResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
    timerPulse.start();
    timerPulse.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerRefresh);
    public function timerRefresh(eventObj:TimerEvent):void
    timerPulse.stop();
    timerPulse.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,
    timerRefresh);
    timerPulse.reset();
    httpServiceResults.send();
    </script>
    </mx:Application>
    This is pretty much the code I am currently using and it
    leaks.
    I ran and monitored this in both the profiler and the
    activity / task manager, and after running the app for 1800 seconds
    (30 min) in the profiler, the memory size grew from 50mg to 165mg
    just sending the HTTPService.
    I tried loading the service in multiple ways including in AS
    rather than MXML creating new instances of it each time, resetting
    it, nulling it etc... but nothing prevented this memory increase.
    I then tried to load the XML using different methods such as
    using the URLRequest and URLLoader which again caused a memory
    leak.
    What still confuses me is that this leak did not exist in the
    previous version and not a great deal has changed since then apart
    from upgrading to Flex 3 and possibly upgrading my Flash payer
    (which I believe is a possible cause)
    After looking into this issue a bit more deeply, I read a few
    blogs / forums and other people are experiencing the same problems
    - even with a lot bigger leaks in some cases all when reloading
    large sets of XML data into Flex - however, I as of yet found no
    solution to this leak - people with a similar problem believe it is
    not due to a memory leak more a GC error, and others pointing
    towards the Flash Player itself that is leaking - I don't really
    know.
    Findings so far during investigation of this issue:
    * App leaks for both HTTPService and ULRRequest / URLLoader
    methods
    * App only leaks when calling a data loader
    * The size of the leak seems to depend on the size of the
    XML being loaded
    * The size of the leak also seems to be affected by the
    applications heaviness - the greater seems to enhance the leak
    An interesting factor I have noticed is that if I copy the
    XML from my "myXML.cfm" that I link to in my HTTPService and copy
    the contents of the file into my own XML file stored within the
    Flex project root itself: ""myXML.xml"" the leak disappears... like
    it seems to link when loading the XML over a network, however as my
    network knowledge is not great I am not sure what to make of this -
    any ideas???
    Could the connection to the XML document cause leaks??? is
    there anything else that could cause this leak??? have I something
    in my code sample that could cause this leak??? or could any of the
    other things I have mentioed cause this leak???
    Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jon.

    I also observed heavy memory leak from using httpservice with
    XML data. I am using Flex3 builder under Linux. My Flex application
    polls httpservice every 10 seconds. The reply is a short XML
    message less than 100 bytes. This simple polling will consume 30+
    MB of memory every hour. I leave it idling for several hours and it
    took 200 MB of memory. No sign of garbage collection at all.

  • Memory Leak issue 1.5.4.59.40-no-jre  jdk1.6.0_12  jre6

    Me and 2 other develops have been using SQL developer since it was created but we are getting really frustrated with the memory leaks we are experencing.
    We will start up sql developer and if we just leave it alone within a couple hours it will have taken up 650Megs of ram and be completely locked up. If we are working in sql developer the time can be even faster till it lockups up. We have been experencing the issue for very long time but seems to have gotten worse in the last to updates.
    I have tried to search the web and form for information to the memory problem to no avail. We are running oracle 10g and windows XP with 2gigs of ram.
    Can some one point me to some information or have any idea what is going on?
    Edit--
    I just realized that I was not using the latest version that I have downloaded. Trying sqldeveloper-1.5.4.59.40-no-jre will advise as to results.

    2nd Edit--
    1.5.4.59.40-no-jre has the same issue. 2hrs and it has locked up and is no longer listed as a running app and can only be seen under the process thread in windows task manager with 50% CPU use on a dual-core cpu and 626megs ram being used. Have to kill and restart ... <sigh>
    Edited by: ObeTheDuck on Mar 17, 2009 10:45 AM

    Thanks for the info so far....
    We really do like sql developer as a tool and has been execeding helpful and useful as our development tool.
    I am proud to say we have been using it since the 2nd month is was available and have been encourged and happy with most of the improvements.
    I am looking forward to trying the modeling tool soon.
    If I can get back to having a stable work enviorment for a work day that will be fine for now. It's just been reduced down to 2hrs which is a bit much.
    Anyway...
    1. We don't have any in house extentions that we need. I am speaking of the one that come bundled with the tool. Or at least I thought that they came bundled.
    Several are migration tools which we don't need. One is TenTime tool which I don't think we need.
    Last is the versioning extention, this sounds like something we want to use, but stability is more important at the moment. So unchecked they have all been.
    2. Sue you asked about a clean install. Is that simply an unpacking a new folder copy and then not migrate settings when running?
    3. I will be glad to uninstall java a switch to different version of the jdk which one is consider to be the most stable atm?
    Thanks,

  • Memory leak in MAX Preview resolved by build 411

    I was experiencing a memory leak while using the TLF that came as part of Flex 4 MAX Preview. Over the course of several hours, instances of a class called TextAccImpl would rapidly accumulate to the point where they accounted for over 50% of memory usage in my application, severely degrading performance.
    Upgrading to weekly build 411 resolved this issue - I didn't try with build 409 to see if it was also affected.
    Posting this as I wasn't sure if this entry in the change notes; "Fix a memory leak issue with the TextLayoutFormat cache" was related or not.

    If you modify the code just to call theCon=scp->getConnection(); and scp->releaseConnection(theCon); in an infinite loop, in as many threads as you like but initially in just one thread, does this program's memory usage stabilise or does it continue to use increasingly more and more memory until it crashes due to lack of memory?
