Re: [jetty-users] DirectByteBuffer native memory problems (OOM) with Jetty 9.0/9.1
|
Hi Emmeran,
This is a known bug in the jdk that has been around for quite a while.
The jetty doc on it is here (see subsection "Direct ByteBuffers"):
http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/preventing-memory-leaks.html#jvm-bugs
Sadly, there is still no fix in the jvm for it. If you've got a good
workaround, I'd go with that.
cheers
Jan
