Francois Masurel commented on CXF-2164:
---------------------------------------
Willing to help, I've tried to dig a bit deeper in the code.
There is no try/finally around WebServiceContextImpl.setMessageContext and
WebServiceContextImpl.clear in org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JAXWSMethodInvoker invoke
method. But as long no exception is throw in between it should'nt be a problem.
In org.apache.cxf.jaxws.BindingProviderImpl, requestContext and responseContext
threadlocal variables don't seem to be cleared anywhere, there is a strange
protected clearContext method which doesn't seem to be called from anywhere.
Same for org.apache.cxf.endpoint.ClientImpl. No call to set(null) method in
the code for these threadlocal variables.
This might be the cause of our problems.
Some kind of clear() method needs to be implemented for these two classes.
Is there any architectural constraints for these methods not being implemented
and used ?

> I've found this message on a mailing list recently, and it doesn't seem to
> have been resolved as we have the same problem with version 2.1.4 of CXF on
> one of our webapp :
> Hello CXF users,
> I've been working on figuring out why our JBoss servers keep going down with
> permgen out
> of memory exceptions when we redeploy our war files. To do this I had been
> using a profiler
> to inspect the WebAppClassloader to find out what was keeping it from being
> garbage collected.
> One such culprit was the class org.apache.cxf.BusFactory
> The BusFactory has a ThreadLocal in which it stores a copy of CXFBusImpl.
> However, this isn't
> getting cleaned up properly when the war is undeployed. I noticed that
> CXFBusImpl has a shutdown
> method that calls BusFactory.setDefaultBus(null) which in turn sets the value
> stored in the
> ThreadLocal to null. However, this doesn't seem to be getting called.
> The way we are using CXF from spring is with the following
> WEB-INF/services.xml file in our
> war:
> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans";
> xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
> xmlns:amq="http://activemq.org/config/1.0";
> xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws";
> xmlns:http-conf="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration";
> xsi:schemaLocation="

> default-autowire="byType">
> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" />
> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" />
> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" />
> <jaxws:endpoint id="helloService" implementor="#helloSvc"
> address="/HelloService" />
> </beans>
> I'm not really sure why this Bus.shutdown() isn't getting called or even who
> is responsible
> for calling it. I tried doing something along the lines of:
> WebApplicationContext webContext =
> WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(context);
> if (webContext.containsBean("cxf")) {
> CXFBusImpl cxfBus = (CXFBusImpl) webContext.getBean("cxf");
> cxfBus.shutdown(true);
> }
> But that didn't work. What I eventually ended up doing was to have the
> following hack in the
> shutdown sequence of our webapp:
> Field field = org.apache.cxf.BussFactory.class.getDeclaredField("localBus");
> field.setAccessible(true);
> ThreadLocal<?> localBus = (ThreadLocal<?>) field.get(null);
> localBus.remove();
> This did work but obviously it is a bit of an ugly hack. Is there something
> that needs to
> be included in our service.xml file to tell spring how to cleanup CXF? Is
> this maybe a bug
> in CXF that the CXFBusImpl.shutdown(Boolean) just isn't getting called at all
> or maybe that
> in BusFactory.setThreadDefaultBus(Bus) that there should be some check such
> as:
> if (bus == null) {
> localBus.remove();
> } else {
> localBus.set(bus);
> }
> Or maybe some combination of all of these. I'm reasonably new to CXF, Spring,
> and all this
> stuff so I apologize ahead of time if there is some obvious solution that I
> just didn't come
> across but I've been trying to scour the CXF and Spring documentation for
> some idea of the
> correct way to do this and why BusFactory is keeping its ThreadLocal but I
> can't figure it
> out.
> Thanks!
