Memory Leak in SystemLogHandler

[glassfishrobot]

/org/apache/jasper/util/SystemLogHandler.java
and
/org/apache/tomcat/util/log/SystemLogHandler.java

had a memory leak in tomcat until 2005-02-08. I submitted a patch which
unfortunately was only applied to the 5.5 and the 4.1 versions of tomcat, 5.0 is
still not patched.

I looked at the two classes in glassfish and at least locally the code is the
same, so it has the memory leak problem. I didn't check all the way up, but I
assume, that glassfish will experience the problem too.

The memory leak shows up, when you are creating lots of working threads (and
destroy them again), e.g. having applications with varying loads running for a
longer time you will notice a slow increase in tenured space.

Please find the discussion and my original patches for the two classes at

Thanks for considering.

Thanks for bringing your patch to our attention!
We'll reevaluate it for Glassfish and will hopefully be able to apply it.
We'll let you know.
