Memory usage of ConfigurationInjectorBeanPostProcessor

[ltuska]

Hi dear all, i am new to this forum, so please be gentle... :-D

I have created an app which reads ids from a queue, and processes records from a database with those ids. To do that i created a taskExecutor object which uses a thread pool.

To make sure that there will be no "interferences", i use prototype-scoped processing beans.

I run a "burn-in" test the day before Yesterday, and everything went fine, except the memory usage... It seemed that there was a memory leak. Using my favourite memory analyzer, it turned out, that the ConfigurationInjectorBeanPostProcessor holds references to all already configured beans (List<Object> alreadyConfiguredBeans), and i end up with ~70k objects which i don't want to have any more (no other references to them)...

So is there a way to instruct this class not to save all references, or clean them up after the processing is complete? Or should i write my own PostProcessor?

Using 3.1.0.RELEASE

Thanks for any suggestions!
