After performing deep memory profiling and analysis, there was encountered that IceFaces 2 doesn't seem to free Resource objects which were attached to a ice:outputResource component. After playing around and creating many outputResources, the same stay in memory forever and are never released.

Session timeout is happening properly and all other objects (including our owns) are properly removed on logout (session.close) or timeout. But the Resource objects do remain forever.

This is a very serious problem as it is a no go for a production environement.

Attached a sample reference chain (one example of thousands remaining after test case execution). One could see that our object is only hold within the map owned by DynamicResourceDispatcher.

Checked shortly the source of DynamicResourceDispatcher. There is no removing of the resources from the map (except on shutdown).

So the question is: Is this a serious bug or should it be somehow documented how to get properly rid of sessions and Resource objects attached to that session.
