This also means you can have a sort of memory leaks in Java - if you keep references to objects you don't need.

So you mean if an object of type static it will never be garbage collected??]]> Fri, 20 Aug 2004 09:21:37 -0400 Fri, 20 Aug 2004 09:21:37 -0400 Fri, 20 Aug 2004 09:21:37 -0400 Aug 20, 2004 Saravana K Muthuswamy 2 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28184

How the singleton object doesn't get garbage collected or how to make it not collected?

Is it because a static object, it doesnot get garbage collected??

Thanks
