Hi John,
It depends on what container you use, what message body readers/writers
and how many re-deployments you do. The original reporter run out of
PermGen space,
which is of course a serious issue, but this should only happen
if you rely on particular XML related stuff and redeploy feature.
Thread local variables used by Jersey in the request scope are being
cleaned up properly,
so if you just deploy once and keep running, the issue should not have a
great impact on you.
It also should not impact you at all when running on Grizzly and other
low level embedded
containers.
HTH,
~Jakub
