Hello Vibha! VJ> Hi,
VJ> I am creating instances of dataclasses in my Servlets and JSPs. VJ> I am not explicitly setting them to null after use. VJ> Could this be a problem? VJ> I mean, would these objects not be eligible for garbage collection or would VJ> they be eligible? It depends. If you put references to classes to variables that have method-scope (that is local ones in doGet() f.e.) there's no problem. If you store them to class instance or static variables the objects are retained. But you have no reason to assign to static/class variables. With JSP what you declare inside <%! %> become class instance variables, best do not use them at all! What you declare inside <% %> are local variables. Good luck!
