The quick answer is no - all of the code is non-reentrant, and there aren't many places for a memory leak to hide from the garbage collector, but saying that there isn't a leak is like saying your code is bug free. The one area that is suspect is the database code - I'm fairly careful, but every once in a while I find a PreparedStatement or ResultSet that isn't closed...
Still, these are two different tracks. I'd like to get Java set up correctly to give maximum memory to Tomcat, while simultaneously trying to track down any leaks.
