I am passing a String (PIC X) to a Java method and Java heap memory is increasing until it eventually hits the limit(default 64Mb). I can up the limits but it will occur again so I need to know how to avoid this.I have used a debugger to find that the Strings passed to my method are not being garbage collected and are remaining on the heap. I am not storing them in anyway on the java side.
Below is the COBOL call. I am talking about a PIC X(1000) or more and calling it over 100,000 times.
Is anyone else having this problem or know a work-around, thanks.
000000 CALL "C$JAVA" USING CJAVA-CALL, IPGLBAL-HANDLE,
000000 "com/company/cobol/IpglbalProcessor",
000000 "execute",
000000 "(X)I",
000000 IPGLBAL-DATA,
000000 IPGLBAL-CALL-SUCCESS
000000 GIVING IPGLBAL-CALL-STATUS.
