Hi,
I was intereested in knowing the effect in Servlets and JSPs.
I believe that the Servlets are destroyed as soon as they throw the JSP.
And once the JSP displays the HTML, I guess it loses scope. So, all objects
initialised in these JSPs and servlets should not require me to set the
references to null.
Or do I need to ?
Regards,
Vibha
