Tomcat中的内存泄漏问题

停止Tomcat服务的时候，log里面报了不少的内存错误信息。经查询是Tomcat6.0.24以后会检测到的问题。

Summary matrix

Leak cause	Detected by tomcat	Fixed by tomcat	Possible enhancements
Custom ThreadLocal class	>=6.0.24	>= 7.0.6
Webapp class instance as ThreadLocal value	>=6.0.24	>= 7.0.6
Webapp class instance indirectly held through a ThreadLocal value	no	>= 7.0.6
ThreadLocal pseudo-leak	>=6.0.24	>= 7.0.6
ContextClassLoader / Threads spawned by webapps	>=6.0.24	In 6.0.24-6.0.26 TimerThread are stopped but it may lead to problems. Optional from 6.0.27 with the clearReferencesStopTimerThreads flag. Other threads may be stopped with the clearReferencesStopThreads flag, but it's unsafe.	Fix the application to stop the thread when the application is stopped
ContextClassLoader / Threads spawned by classes loaded by the common classloader	>=6.0.24	In 6.0.24-6.0.26 TimerThread are stopped but it may lead to problems. Optional from 6.0.27 with the clearReferencesStopTimerThreads flag. Other threads may be stopped with the clearReferencesStopThreads flag, but it's unsafe.	Fix the offending code (set the correct CCL when spawning the thread)
ContextClassLoader / Threads spawned by JRE classes	no	>=6.0.24 pre-spawns some known offenders
static class variables	no	> 6.0.? . Disabled by default with tomcat 7
LogFactory		> 6.0.?
JDBC driver registration	> 6.0.?	> 6.0.?
RMI Target		> 6.0.?

还没升级的情况下，比如ThreadLocal的内存泄漏问题，Tomca7中是用ThreadLocalLeakPreventionListener来解决的。

而Tomcat6.0.24以后可以用Context#clearReferencesThreadLocals=true来解决。
