[eclipselink-users] EclipseLink and Memory Problems

[Florian Schaetz <florian.schaetz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm noticing something strange here: My application uses EclispseLink 
and consumes a lot of memory. Most of the memory seems (according to a 
heap dump) be consumed by EcliseLink. Somehow EclipseLink seems to 
consume more and more memory - until it reaches the limit and starts to 
get incredibly slow.

My latest Heap Dump shows, that the application used 835MB. One 
UnitOfWorkChangeSet consumes 227MB and another one is there that 
consumes 220MB. And finally there are around 440.000 instances of 
QueryBasedValueHolder using 88MB.

I don't care about the memory itself, but the application gets very slow 
when trying to use EclipseLink while being at the memory limit, thus 
EclipseLink is obviously slowing itself down by consuming the memory.

Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions?
