Hello,

seemes to me there is a memory leak with the CXFAuthenticator. There is a static reference to it in java.net.Authenticator.theAuthenticator .
The prevents the GC from collecting the WebappClassLoader on hot undeployment.

I helped myself by doing 

java.net.Authenticator.setDefault(null);

on contextDestroy().

Our web application uses CXF as a jasWS client.
