Fidleity Oncenter Issues

Last week i tried to find some time to update the site but was caught up with work :-((. Had to complete 5.6.2-6.0.1 and 6.0.0-6.0.1 upgrade verification in 4 days. Imagine our entrire suite contains 13 applications and about 10 minor tools :-O.
To top this i had to do a continuous 40 hours sitting at the offcie last thursday. Aparently our Oncenter was throwing Out Of Memory exception when deployed on to a Websphere server. I tried to analyse the application for possible memory leaks using JProfiler. And that itself went dead while taking a heap dump. Finally i had to write a small web application to simulate the memory leak scenario. The issue at last was that when a web application is destroyed Websphere does not relieve the application. So if the application was holding onto some resources, that continues to hog the memory. After some more web application restarts there is no more memory left. As a fix i had to add shutdown and cleanup code all throughout the application, touching about 77 files. This was for 5.6.2 and now after QA verifies it i have to merge this into mainline :-((
