Memory leak using JNI to retrieve String's value from Java code

Question

I'm using GetStringUTFChars to retrieve a string's value from the java code using JNI and releasing the string using ReleaseStringUTFChars. When the code is running on JRE 1.4 there is no memory leak but if the same code is running with a JRE 1.5 or higher version the memory increases. This is a part of the code

msg_id=(*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env, msgid,NULL); 
opcdata_set_str(opc_msg_id, OPCDATA_MSGID, msg_id);
(*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, msgid,msg_id); 

I'm unable to understand the reason for leak.Can someone help?

This one is because if I comment the rest of the code but leave this part the memory leak takes place. This is a part of the code that I'm using

JNIEXPORT jobjectArray JNICALL Java_msiAPI_msiAPI_msgtoescalate( JNIEnv *env,
                                                                 jobject job,
                                                                 jstring msgid,
                                                                 jlong msgseverity,
                                                                 jstring msgprefixtext,
                                                                 jint flag )
{
  opcdata       opc_msg_id;   /* data struct to store a mesg ID        */

  const  char            *msg_id;
  int           ret, ret2;
  jint val;
  val=67;
  jstring str=NULL;
  jobjectArray array = NULL;
  jclass sclass=NULL;
  /* create an opc_data structure to store message ids of */
  /* messages to escalate                                 */
  if ((ret2=opcdata_create(OPCDTYPE_MESSAGE_ID, &opc_msg_id))!= OPC_ERR_OK)
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Can't create opc_data structure to store message. opcdata_create()=%d\n", ret2);
    cleanup_all();
  }

  //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  msg_id=(*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env,msgid,NULL);
  opcdata_set_str(opc_msg_id, OPCDATA_MSGID, msg_id);
  (*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, msgid, msg_id);
  ret=opcmsg_ack(connection,opc_msg_id);
  //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

  if(flag==0 && ret==0)
  {
    sclass = (*env)->FindClass(env, "java/lang/String");
    array = (*env)->NewObjectArray(env, 2, sclass, NULL);
    str=(*env)->NewStringUTF(env,"0");
    (*env)->SetObjectArrayElement(env,array,0,str);
    (*env)->DeleteLocalRef(env, str);
    str=(*env)->NewStringUTF(env,"0");
    (*env)->SetObjectArrayElement(env,array,1,str);
    (*env)->DeleteLocalRef(env, str);
  }

  opcdata_free(&opc_msg_id);

  if(ret!=0)
    return NULL;
  else
    return(array);
}

In the one above is if I comment the sections between ///// I don't see any memory leak.

Answer 1

Release array object.

(*env)->DeleteLocalRef(env, array);
