Thanks guys, let me see if I understand correctly, That means if I create objects in a servlet and put them in a session using the session.setAttribute, and if I use those objects in a jsp file. what you are saying is that I should not worry about unbinding the objects from the session??? In other words I do not need to use the session.invallidate() to unbind the objects?? Let me give you a scenario of my problem let say my JSP uses a worker bean (whose reference is store in a session ) to display a list of available accounts from my DB, now that same page give the user the option to delete one of the available accounts from the list, ( at this moment I still have a reference to my worker bean in a session ) The user can continue with the deletion of one of the accounts on the list or the user can JUST LEAVE the site, if the user decides to do so, at this point, WHAT happens to my worker bean ( in the session ) remember I did not invalidated it because I was going to use it in a future JSP ( assuming that the user was goint to continue with the process of deletion) Since the user as I said JUST LEAVES the site. How do I reclaim the memory in use by the session. Do I just wait until it expires??? What if I have more than one object in the same situation??

All the object u are creating in your JSP will follow the same GC rule as other object created in any method. For beans you can specify the scope mechanism to control how long you want to keep the reference handle. I will NEVER suggest you finalize() method to do some 'smart things'. By overriding finalize(), you are effectively increasing the life of the object as GC now has to deal with this object at least twice.
