Using the RFAJ 8.0 API - is there anything specific that needs to be done to kill a connection to...

... RSSLConnection outside of the Application Cleanup steps such as unregisterClient, destroyConsumer/Queue, cleanup?

I have a memory leak in my application due to the RSSLConnection connection retaining references to by objects even after I have destroyed the eventqueue and the consumer and released the session via the API. Due to the connection retaining references to my Client class (which implements com.reuters.rfa.common.Client). How can I kill the connection so the referenced objects can be cleaned up?

RFA/Java 8.0.0.L2 (latest 8.0.1) fixes a memory leak bug whereby connections will retain references to closures when returned to the pool.

---------------------------------------
rfaj3799; RFA Java holds on to references to Closure objects and thus
prevents them from being garbage collected.
This has been fixed.

Also a common missed step is that after deactivating an event queue one must drain the queue of events, this is not required in RFA/C++. Example:

private void drainqueue() {
	LOG.trace ("Draining event queue.");
	int count = 0;
	try {
		while (this.event_queue.dispatch (Dispatchable.NO_WAIT) > 0) { ++count; }
		LOG.trace ("Queue contained {} events.", count);
	} catch (DeactivatedException e) {
/* ignore on empty queue */
		if (count > 0) LOG.catching (e);
	} catch (Exception e) {
		LOG.catching (e);
	}
}
