Description Quy Nguyen 2007-05-30 00:09:55 UTC

The org.apache.xerces.dom.AttrImpl class has a static field 'textNode' that
appears to cause a designer memory leak.  The source of this problem is detailed
here in an apache bug report (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1248).

Even though this is not under our control, a workaround or some way to mitigate
the issue might be possible.

Comment 1 Peter Zavadsky 2007-05-31 00:22:16 UTC

Trying to hack that problem in the subclass. If that works I'll put it in, but
it might not work over the other releases. The real fix needs to happen in
Xerces impl (or to use different impl).

Comment 2 Peter Zavadsky 2007-05-31 00:24:08 UTC

Fixed. It needs to be checked whether it works fine (memory leak), and whether
it doesn't harm performance otherwise (the speed).

Verified that the memory leak no longer occurs on 070612.

Looks like Quy verified.
