Re: [Resteasy-users] Why no client.close()?
The examples are bad examples of clean code.

Yet the overwhelming majority of examples I can find, including those shipped with RESTEasy, do not explicitly invoke Client.close(). Is this because resource cleanup will eventually be done automatically during garbage collection? We are using the ResteasyClient proxy approach, but that class extends Client, so I'm assuming the same discussion holds for the proxy.

Re: [Resteasy-users] Why no client.close()?
Oh, one more thing. ResteasyClient does implement finalize and will close during garbage collection.
