Hi Mark, I have implemented your suggestion. I have deployed my application in Tomcat 6.0.29 version under the same environment as Tomcat 6.0.18(test environment).
After performing the similar operations on both tomcat versions one after another, I have taken the heap dumps from both versions. What I observed is: Number of com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl objects are 10 in tomcat 6.0.18 and 7 in tomcat 6.0.29. I can't able to say that the issue is fixed :( Well I am attaching my original mail on this issue for your reference. We are using Tomcat 6.0.18 on Linux environment(Red hat Linux) for our production. We have enabled SSL by deploying SSL certificates. We observed that, over a period of time, the memory consumption is increasing and we are facing serious performance issues. I have taken a heap dump and analyzed it using Eclipse Memory analyzer. What I found was, com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl objects are never Garbage collected. The leak report by Memory analyzer is as follows: 2,996 instances of com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl", loaded by "<system class loader>" occupy 219,843,760 (62.76%) bytes Upon drilling down, these objects are being held by finalizer method of GC. I have got the following similar link: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5266266 Can anybody tell me if there is any memory leak issues exists with Tomcat 6.0.18? I read somewhere that, the memory leak issue with SSL was fixed on 6.0.20.

Given your difficulties in applying patch, I suspect you will have difficulties building the source too. Assuming this patch fixes the issue you are seeing (and I have yet to see any evidence that it will) why not just use a binary that already includes the fix?
