G2.2 Unable to clear Sun JarFileFactory cache

[ericp56]

What's the best course of action for http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5036?

1) Keep using update 18 - it won't affect your applications.
2) Use JDK 1.6 Release 1.6_0_???
3) Update OpenEjb to ???
4) Other?

Please advise.

Thanks!

Eric

1) Ignore. You should not see any functional problems. You may see a ClassLoader memory leak -- which after repeated deploy/undeploy cycles could result in a PermGen OutOfMemoryError. Hmm. Actually, this may be trying to avoid jar files being locked on Windows -- which would prevent the jar files from being deleted from your hard-drive. Either way, I don't expect anything too serious.

3) You can apply the patch to OpenEJB and update the OpenEJB jars in your geronimo installation.  

We should have this fixed in a 2.1.5 and 2.2.1 release...
