OutOfMemoryException

The application which I am developing ran into a OutOfMemoryException. There are some minor improvements from the previous version (which was working fine), of most significance is the use of blocking queues and concurrent hashmap in the util.concurrent package.

I analysed the heap dump (using jmap and jhat) and found out that many instances of "class [B" are hogging the memory.

I would be glad if some one can shed some light on what is the function of this class and where is it being used and what are the scenarios that it is not being garbage collected.

Thank you very much in advance.
