PQ51946: WHEN SECURITY IS ENABLED, FOR EVERY REQUEST (INCOMING AND OUTGOING), THE ORB READS THE SERVICE CONTEXT, PARSE THE DATA,


APAR

APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
When security is enabled, for every request (incoming and
outgoing), the orb reads the service context, parse the data,
and then try to decrypt and encrypt the message ourself.
But now we rely on SSL to do this, therefore it's not needed any
longer.
Local fix
an efix 110982.jar has been created.
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users       *
*                 with security enabled                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Improves system performance when        *
*                      security is enabled                     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When security is enabled, a java.lang.OutOfMemory
exception may occur after a period of time because one of
the security components is not releasing resources and
thus eventually consumes all available memory.  The
symptoms of this problem include, steady increasing memory
consumption by WebSphere Application servers, followed by
the OutOfMemory exception, which will cause the application
server process to terminate.
Problem conclusion
The problem was resolved by removing the unnecessary
references to the objects when the request is done.
Temporary fix
available
