Memory leak when marshaling ActiveMQTextMessage to persistence store
--------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AMQ-2103
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2103
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Broker
    Affects Versions: 5.2.0
            Reporter: Trevor Pounds


When an org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQTextMessage is marshaled into the persistence store some portion of the messages are stored in memory (i.e. pending cursor/consumer dispatch queue).  The messages stored in memory have the potential to cause the broker to run out of memory because org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQTextMessage objects can store the data twice, once in the 'text' field and once in the 'content' field.  Normally this isn't a problem since the 'content' field is cleared when the message is being used in a client application (i.e. by calling getText() clears content).  The problem occurs when a consumer is slow and a large number of messages are sitting around on the broker in pending/dispatch memory space.  The message is marshaled for the store and then persisted to disk and copied to pending memory when space is available.

This bug affects any ActiveMQ*Message object that does not clear its temporary data (i.e. 'text' field) once it has been marshaled.  When a message is marshaled we should null the derived objects memory space once the data has been written to the parent object's 'content' field.
