Hi BaseX team!

A quick question.

Is there some known bug/common setting missing for RESTXQ and memory problems?

I have this simple module ( into /webapp, a .xqm file ) :

module namespace exe = 'http://site.com/execute';
declare
%updating
%rest:path("update")
%rest:consumes("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
%rest:POST function exe:update() {

xquery:eval-update(request:parameter("query"))

};

I use it to execute some updates against some databases from different clients.

Everything works fine by a while, but after some time I get this error [1]:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

I noticed that every call to update() the memory grows and grows until it reaches the OutOfMemoryError. [2]

If I stop the HTTP server, the memory is released immediately. [3]

What I'm doing wrong?

Is there some command to execute the GC?

Is this a problem with "xquery:eval-update()"?

Am I using it in the wrong way?

Best regards,

Sebastian.
