Memory problem with JasperPrint objects

[christopher_andre]

Hello,

 

One of my customer is currently experiencing memory problems on his web application and, after some investigation, it was discovered that this problem is mainly caused by JasperPrint objects stored in the HttpSessions of his users.

The reason why these JasperPrint objects are stored in the session is because he exports some of the reports he generates (using JasperReports) with the HtmlExporter and needs to use the image servlet to display associated images within the HTML report.

My question is the following: I haven't been using JasperReports for some time but I remember what I describe used to be the recommended way of streaming HTML reports. Is it still the case? If so, would it be interesting to develop some functionality to take care of this or does it exist already?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,

 

Chris
