    ****************************************************************
    A memory leak may occur during application deployment. As a
    result, an OutOfMemoryError would eventually be encountered.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A cleanup thread started by the web Service engine is holding
    is incorrectly holding a reference to a classloader.
    
    This prevents the JVM's Garbage Collector from reclaiming a
    large amount of native storage
    
    The runtime was corrected by removing the reference.
    
    The same issue is fixed in WebSphere Application Server,
    Feature Pack for Web Services in APAR PM19112.
    
    APAR PM18807 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
    Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.35 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1.
