Pat,
So in my case then since the Hibernate session is controlled by Spring after
getting the large list I could subsequently call a method in my DAO which
looks something like this:
public void clearSessionObjects(List bigList) {
Iterator bigListIt = bigList.iterator();
while (bigListIt.hasNext()) {
getHibernateTemplate().evict(bigListIt.next);
}
}
And without such an eviction this could be what is causing the
OutOfMemoryError.

To clean out a hibernate session:
s.clear();
That will clean everything out of it. Be warned though that it
clears *everything* out of it, not just the stuff you recently loaded. A
safer way is to evict each object one at a time as you load it e.g.
Sesison s = HibHelper.getSession();
Query q = s.createQuery("from bigList");
List l = q.list();
For (int x=0; x< l.size(); x++)
s.evict(l.get(x));

Pat,
1) Yes I am setting the object list to null.
2) I have not put a log statement in the code to check it but I have set a
break point in debug mode and each time the page was rendered the code in
pageDetached(PageEvent event) was run.
3) There is no other code which references the list object except the
rendering using the For component.
4) Subsequent to adding the pageDetached(PageEvent event) I have not run
it
on with the caching enabled. This I will do next.
5) I am using hibernate for the persistent layer. I have always just let
Spring look after the hibernate session using declarative transactions and
have never bypassed this mechanism. How do I evict go about evicting the
objects after the transaction which picks them up. Can I just write a
piece
of code in my DAO which after picking the objects up then has something
like:
getHibernateTemplate().evict(objects);
As you can see I am fairly nieve about use of hibernate too.
Thanks,
Paul

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.
