Memory leak in wildfly transaction client

Details

    Description

      After a volume run of our system we recognized millions of entries in the openFilePaths Object of class FileSystemXAResourceRegistry. When enabling traces for org.wildfly.transaction it seems that for adding an entry a xid string is used

              XAResourceRegistryFile(Xid xid) throws SystemException {
                  xaRecoveryPath.toFile().mkdir(); // create dir if non existent
                  final String xidString = SimpleXid.of(xid).toHexString('_');
                  this.filePath = xaRecoveryPath.resolve(xidString);
                  openFilePaths.add(*xidString*);
      

      and for removing the entire file path:

              protected void removeResource(XAResource resource) throws XAException {
                  if (resources.remove(resource)) {
                      if (resources.isEmpty()) {
                          // delete file
                          try {
                              if (fileChannel != null) {
                                  fileChannel.close();
                              }
                              Files.delete(filePath);
                              // deleting using the filepath as key caused a memory leak,
                              // if xid string have been added, therefore build the xid string for removing
                              openFilePaths.remove(*filePath.toString()*);
       

      We didn't find any code where this xid are cleaned up.
      As workaround we additionally extract the xid String from the file path and remove the corresponding entry.

                              String xidString = filePath.toString().substring(filePath.toString().indexOf(
                              		xaRecoveryPath.toString()) + xaRecoveryPath.toString().length() + 1);
                              openFilePaths.remove(xidString);
