PH42103: JAXRSFACTORYIMPLICITBEANCDICUSTOMIZER DOES NOT RELEASE CREATIONALCONTEXTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Obtaining a reference to a bean in a programmatic way using
  CDI.current().select(MyBean.class).get(), can lead to a memory
  leak, if there is a CDI Interceptor attached to the bean. This
  can cause a memory leak in WAS.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Potential CreationalContext memory      *
  *                      leak in JAXRS involving CDI             *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  CreationalContext objects created by JAXRS code are not
  released properly following service invoke and could
  potentially result in a memory leak.  A possible scenario is
  when a bean annotated with @Dependent with a preDestroy()
  method is injected into a class annotated with @Path.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified the JAXRS code to property release the
  CreationalContext objects following service invoke.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  9.0.5.11. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for
