Description anovak 2001-07-13 15:00:00 UTC

The CookiesChangeListener has the "nodes" variable which strongly references
Nodes. The array is updated from time to time. It contains for instance a
refernce to a JavaNode, which in turn references a JavaDataObject. If you,
however, delete the JavaDataObject, it is not gced from memory because there is
the reference from the nodes array.

Fixed in main trunk. CookieAction$CookiesChangeListener holds nodes 
as List of WeakReferences instead of array of strong references.

rev 1.16

Comment 3 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 16:14:14 UTC

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
