RE: are static classes GC'd?

[Adolfo Miguelez]

Sorry, of course I meant the unique instance of the static class.

We have a templates caches filled under demand, and implemented as a singleton hashtable. We suspect that GC could be cleaning the cache.

Under heavy stress we are getting some errors and we are looking for the source.

The invocations are in some methods:

TemplatesCache.getInstance().put("key", object);

or

TemplatesCache.getInstance().get("key");

They have not any more references that the previous ones from the rest of the code. Are they enough to avoid being GC'd?

Adolfo.

I believe classes are never garbage collected, only objects.  What sort of
issue are you having where this question arose?

A core Java question. Can not find the solution so we would appreciate any
pointer or reference.

Are static classes eligible for being Gc'd? How does behave GC with static
classes?

TIA,

Adolfo.
