Summary: First access to a jspx page causes classloader leak in
JspDocumentParser
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: 6.0.29
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Jasper
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Running latest 6.0.x,
To reproduce:
1. Stop Tomcat
2. Deploy the examples webapp
3. Create /webapps/examples/foo.jsp file containing the following text:
<jsp:include page="/jsp/jsp2/jspx/basic.jspx"/>
4. Make sure that the work folder of Tomcat is empty.
5. Start Tomcat
6. Go to http://localhost:8080/examples/foo.jsp
7. Go to the Manager web application and stop the examples webapp.
8. Press the "Find leaks" button there.
ACTUAL RESULT:
It is reported that "/examples" causes a leak.
EXPECTED RESULT:
No leaks.
This issue is apparently caused by an instance of
org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspDocumentParser$EnableDTDValidationException
that is being kept in a static final field.
More discussion of such leaks can be found in thread [1] on d...@.

Additional comments:
1) This issue affects the first request that loads the JspDocumentParser class.
Subsequent requests do not cause the issue. Thus only a single webapp is
affected.
2) The issue does not happen when there is no webapp code in the call stack.
I.e., it does not happen if the JSPX page was requested directly.
That is why the reproduction recipe uses <jsp:include/>.
Possible solutions:
1) Preload the JspDocumentParser class when Tomcat starts.
2) Do not cache the Exception. Create a new instance each time.
3) Override the fillInStackTrace() method, like it was done in
AbstractDOMParser$Abort in Apache Xerces [2]. I do not know, whether that helps
or not.
