Possible Memory Leak in ViewerServlet [message #489314]

Hi all.

I integrated the BIRT Viewer Servlet into my JSF Application. As described in http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/viewerUsage2.2.ph p.

After i copied all the necessary libs and plugins and so on i finally got it working (there should be a hint in the tutorial that the <birt:viewer> Tag is not to be placed within a form-tag because it renders it's own HTML form.) But that's not the problem i'd like to post about.

After Playing around and generating a few reports i got an OutOfMemory Exception saying something about PermGen like in this case http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.birt/msg20164. html.

So i opened the Windows Task-manager and observed the memory used by the JVM, which is becoming larger and larger. So i think there might be a memory leak in the viewerservlet.

Even the destruction of the session doesn't work.

I'm using the viewerExample of the birt-runtime-2_5_1 on a jboss-4.2.3. The managedBean behind the jsp page is feeding the report with parameters. I set the Bean to request scope but this didn't help.

Can anybody point me somewhere how to fix this?

have a nice weekend,
Michal

I changed some configuration parameters in WEB-INF/viewer.properties but had no success. The memory usage is still increasing.

Here the parameters I changed:

- viewer.session.timeout=60
- viewer.session.minimumThreshold=1

I hoped through setting these I could force the viewer to clear the session cache. Didn't help.

I reviewed the log of the jboss i deployed the application in and found that even if the HTTP-Session expires the memory usage is not changing.

I deployed the app on an linux system know and will have a look with the top-tool.

Still in need of help,
Michael

Hi Michal,
maybe you should play around a bit with JAVA_OPTS.

Im usually adding these options in the run.conf (unix and linux) or
run.bat (win) of JBoss:

-Xms258m
-Xmx768m
-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

This works fine for me.

Greetings,
Thilo
