Does action and bean classes are garbage collected?

[Deepa More]

I am profiling my application using JProfiler.
Our App. server is Websphere5.1.
In recorded objects though I explicitly calls gc, bean and action classes remains there.
Is there any way to gc?

This makes sense for Action classes since Struts instantiates a single instance and reuses that same instance for multiple users. Not sure about the forms. If you have your forms configured for session scope (the default) then there will be a reference to them in the session so they will not be garbage collected.
