Well, it really smells to me like a leak, largely because 5,000
objects, while a pain in the posterior to scroll through, is mouse nuts from
a memory use standpoint (say each object is 10k (a whopper of an object),
we're only looking at 50 M of memory here. Most object though are at least
an order of magnitude smaller than that.
Just to reinterate though:
It loads once fine.
If you keep loading the page, eventually you get an EOM error,
right?
Some other things to look at:
1) Unless Howard changed things or I'm remembering wrong, initial-value
*does not* reset object to that state. Rather it's the value at page
creation, not the value that something gets set to when a page goes into or
out of the pool. So to null something out after render, you need to
explicitly set it to null in the detach code (as it appears you are doing).
2) Can you put a log statement or something similar in your page detatch
listener to make sure it's being called? I don't know how many times I got
bit by adding PageBeginRender methods to Tap 3 forms without remembering to
add implements PageEventListener to the class.
3) Are there any other object (statics, the visit object, some other
property on the page) which reference your object chain?
4) Do you still get the EOM with tapestry's cache turned off? If so, it's
not your tapestry code that's hanging onto a reference. If not, then the
problem lies in not re-iniitalizing something properly before a page goes
back into the pool.
5) Are you using Hibernate as your persistence layer? If so, are you
evicting these objects out of the session and/or loading them in a temp
session which you are subsequently closing? Objects loaded in a Hibernate
session have the lifespan of the session, regardless of whether or not your
code holds a reference to them.
