RE: Kawa servlet leaks

["Dominique Boucher" <dboucher at nuecho dot com>]

Jim, Chris, Stan,

Thanks for your replies. But, unfortunately, I do get a fatal memory
exhaustion error if I make enough requests to the servlet. So there
seems to be something else going on. I will consider rewriting the
servlet directly in Java, i.e. without the servlet interface provided by
Kawa.

I can't be sure that is not a problem with Kawa, but what you described 
is a classic problem with the JVM in which you starve the GC thread.  If

  the process grows to the limit but does not get a fatal memory 
exhaustion error, then I believe what you're seeing is fairly normal.
