           Summary: Possible leak: tomcat does not release Jasper
                    compilation contexts
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.25
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


First of all, my excuses is this happens not to be an actual bug. And excuses
for my language too, as I am not a native english speaker.

I have found that the live heap size of one of my developed web applications
varies a lot after the JSPs have been compiled on Tomcat 5.5.25 compared with
using precompiled pages. I mean, if I restart Tomcat without deleting "work" and
request the same pages, the live heap is a lot smaller.

Using jhat on a dump of live objects after the compilation, I have found a LOT
of live instances of classes contained in the package 
org.apache.jasper.compiler:

44902 instances of class org.apache.jasper.compiler.Mark
27437 instances of class org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node$TemplateText
27342 instances of class org.apache.jasper.compiler.ELNode$ELText
18206 instances of class org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node$Nodes
16780 instances of class org.apache.jasper.compiler.ELNode$Nodes
13080 instances of class org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node$JspAttribute
11040 instances of class javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagData

After inspection of the references, I believe that the majority of those
instances are being indirectly referenced from instances of:

org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspRuntimeContext
org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext

The live heap of Tomcat + Application with precompiled pages show no instances
of those classes (the first ones), so those instances must be related to JSP
compilation-time and not to the runtime.

Maybe Tomcat is not releasing some this compilation-time information of Jasper?

I do not know the internals of Tomcat and Jasper integration, and I think this
could be a major source of resource consumption. I cannot believe being the
first to notice such a thing, and maybe it is the expected behaviour after 
all...

Thanks a lot for your attention.
