RemoteTeamServer memory leak when logging in to RTC
I've got a server based project that requires users to log in with their RTC credentials before allowing them to perform any of its functionality, however I've been encountering a memory leak issue. I've looked at the heapdumps produced, and the cause of the issue seems to be a build up of instances of "com.ibm.team.repository.client.RemoteTeamServer".
I created a standalone application to log in and out of RTC repeatedly, and it still recreates the problem. I monitored the buildup, and it seems that an instance of RemoteTeamServer is created every time a user logs in, but it never seems to get removed.
I narrowed it down to the point that I know that the RemoteTeamServer is being created when I call the login(monitor) method of my ITeamRepository (where IProgressMonitor monitor = new NullProgressMonitor();).
I later call logout() on the ITeamRepository (and check it worked with .loggedIn()), as well as calling TeamRepositoryService.removeRepository(ITeamRepository), though neither of these seem to remove the RemoteTeamServer that was created previously.
My RemoteTeamServer.class is in com.ibm.team.repository.common.remoteaccess_1.1.0.v20101110_2242.jar
Has anyone else had this problem before or have any idea how to solve it?
Accepted answer
I observed the same memory leak issue with RTC 3.0 plain java client libraries. Later came to know that it has been addressed in the later release. By looking at the jar file name that you have specified, I think you are using 3.0 client libraries. Try to upgrade the client libraries to recent versions.
