Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1D
IBM AIX
SYMPTOM(s):
Application fetches XML documents from a web site
Application leaks memory
CHANGE:
Application was changed to process the XML documents using the DOM parser
CAUSE:
Application did not properly handle object allocation and deallocation of the 4GL objects that are required to interface with the DOM Parser
FIX:
Rewrite the XML parsing code so that it uses the SAX parser that is available in Progress 9.1D instead of the DOM parser (the SAX parser is much simpler to use and requires minimal usage of objects)
