Memory Leak issue

Post by FourW Support » Fri Jan 18, 2019 4:05 pm

Hi we are new to JFreeChart,
We are using JFreeChart for showing bar chart inside Table cell using chartPanel in TableCell Renderer class in our Java swing application. Our requirement is to update the chart for every four seconds for minimum of 100 rows. Here we are facing memory leackage issue. The heap memory is growing linearly. Help us out to solve this issue.

We are using JFreeChart 1.0.19 version.

Thanks,
4W Support.

Several strategies are examined here.

Thanks For your response...
The Link you referred is not related to our scenario. Here we attach a code snippet which explain our exact scenario.
In this scenario the Heap memory is linearly increases up-to 1 GB and so on , without the renderer call heap memory is stable at 20MB.
can you please advice on this scenario.

Code: Select all

Class ThreadSample Extends Thread{
	@Override
	public void run() {
		do{
			function();
			try {
				Thread.sleep(4000);
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
			
		}while(true);
	}
	function(){
		for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { //100 is minimum row count this might be more than 600.
			for (int j = 0; j < 20; j++) {
				/*
				*Here mainClass.Table is an static JTable from main class.
				*/
				if(mainClass.Table.getTableHeader().getColumnModel().getColumn(j).getHeaderValue().toString().contains("graph"){
					TableCellRenderer tr = new GraphCellRenderer(i,j);
					mainClass.Table.getColumnModel().getColumn(j).setCellRenderer(tr);
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
class GraphCellRenderer implements TableCellRenderer {
	public static String[] time = { "10", "20", "30", "40", "50", "60", "70", "80", "90", "100", "110", "120", "130",

Your fragment is incorrectly synchronized: it updates a GUI component from a thread other than the event dispatch thread; the approach shown here may be appropriate. In addition, it is unclear why the TableCellRenderer is re-creating the entire chart with each invocation. Each chart should be created once during initialization; each chart's dataset should be updated only on the event dispatch thread; and the TableCellRenderer should return only the chart panel for the row and column specified in the implementation's signature.
