I have an application in Java that uses CXF to make calls to a web service. The code for the initiator looks like

import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.tempuri.IAPIService;

import javax.inject.Inject;

/**
 * Created by flavius on 23/09/14.
 */
@Component()
public class VsJaxWsProxyFactory {

  @Inject
  private Environment env;

  private JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factoryBean = null;

  public Object create() {
    if (factoryBean == null) {

      factoryBean = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
      factoryBean.setServiceClass(IAPIService.class);
      factoryBean.setAddress(env.getProperty("api.wsdl"));
    }
    return factoryBean.create();
  }
}

The application runs fine, but after a while the box starts to consume too much memory and the application starts running slow. When we tried to do a memory analysis we found the following

It seems that the CXF is somehow creating a new Service configuration object on each call, and is not being released. I can't find much information on org.apache.cxf.jaxws.support.JaxWsServiceConfiguration class and not sure if this is a configuration issue or some internal bug in some library.
