good links on gc

[Abdul Latif]

i am preparing to give the exam but still weak in areas of garbage collection, threads,io & collection
can anybody give me links of tutorials which can help me on these topics in the exam

In Ranch use the search facility and search with keyword garbage collection and author Jim Yingst.
All his replies have excellent content and very valuable for exam.
Pls tell afterwards whether u still need anything else.
for GC no book is good. Use ranch only.

i think there will be few about gc. the things i need to remember is only the instances which are no longer refered by any reference MAY be collected. but there is nothing can guarantee whether or when this will happen, even the call to System.gc() and Runtime.gc().
