tags for GC

[ankur rathi]

Hi,

We are using extensively custom tags in our project.

The problem starts because tag objects are not available (by default) for GC even after they are done(doEnd() method is completed) -- Is this right? I just started AppPerfect to indentify live objects so not so sure -- Now, I want to make them avaialble for GC.

How to do that, I am confused?
Or at the first place, it is an issue or not?

Thanks.

It's up to the container to manage the tag instances, not you. Don't screw around with them.

Thanks Bear.

It's up to the container to create and manage the tag instances. Are you seeing actual problems with the number of instances, or are you tilting at windmills?

I am not seeing any problem as of now, but as I said they are keep on increasing so I think, something is wrong here...

agreed that the tags are managed by the container, but is there a way that it is configurable.. say let them be ready for garbage collection, after this period or after these many objects are already there...

Though garabage collection cant be forced, we can still try to de-refernce those objects.

Isn't anyway to configure container to send tag instances to GC???

No. The tag instances are normal Java objects and will be garbage collected when appropriate just like any other object instances.
