Hello Everyone, Recently I am investigating a Metaspace leak issue. I dumped Metaspace content over time using jcmd. While comparing them I can see that there are 15,000 classes which are taking 120MB in that area! For all of them InstCount(number of object instances of the Java class) is zero. That tells me there is *no object* for those 15K classes in heap. I can see that too in heap. No objects found for those classes.
Then why are they still live in the Metaspace and not getting cleared by Full GC? Definitely they have some reference(s) from somewhere. All I can see that they were loaded by 'class loader 0x0000000021005760a 'org/apache/catalina/loader/WebappClassLoader'. Is this another form of classloader leak or something else? Any idea? Environment: Windows 2012 server, JDK 1.8_92, Tomcat 7.0.55 Thanks!
