spring 3.1: out of memory when loading beans.

Question

i have the following xml. legacy: xml (can't change because it is externalize).

    <bean id="oracleLobHandler" class="org.springframework.jdbc.support.lob.OracleLobHandler" lazy-init="true">
        <property name="nativeJdbcExtractor" ref="dbcpJdbcExtractor"/>
    </bean>

    <!-- LobHandler for well-behaved JDBC drivers -->
    <!-- (simply delegating to corresponding PreparedStatement and ResultSet methods) -->
    <bean id="defaultLobHandler" class="org.springframework.jdbc.support.lob.DefaultLobHandler" lazy-init="true"/>

    <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="defaultDataSource"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="dbcpJdbcExtractor" class="org.springframework.jdbc.support.nativejdbc.CommonsDbcpNativeJdbcExtractor"
            lazy-init="true"/>
</beans> 

offending code:

BeanFactory getBeanFactory() {
    new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("/META-INF/beans.xml"));
}  

logs: org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.FailFastProblemReporter.error(FailFastProblemReporter.java:68) org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ReaderContext.error(ReaderContext.java:85) org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ReaderContext.error(ReaderContext.java:76) org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.importBeanDefinitionResource(DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.java:245) org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.parseDefaultElement(DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.java:196)

What is wrong? btw i never had the problem when using spring 1.2.

Answer 1

actually i reduce it by making the creation of application-context static.

So creating one instance

private static final applicationContext ctx and using it only once.
