Hello Jeffry, Well, I wish there is a destructor method...at least I am not aware of one. In C++ there is a destructor method because it is not automated; whereas, in Java the garbage collection is automated.
There must be a way to deal with these hanging and vague pointers to the objects. thanks again for the reply...Kinley >From: Jeffry Houser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Java and Coldfusion 4.5 using memory >Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2001 11:53:35 -0500 > > I can't claim to be an expert, in fact I've never tried anything like >this. > But, from a theoretical standpoint. shouldn't most ( all?)
