Java Forum / General / December 2007disposal of object
An object has been added into a Vector v: v.add(obj); Later I want to dispose of the object. Must it first be removed from the v for garbage disposal to get rid of it. Or would setting obj=null; be enough to dispose of it? The instance won't get disposed until you release all its references. If obj is local to a function and the thread has left the function, then that reference is gone and you don't need to set it to null explicitly. If obj happens to be a static field and you cannot reduce its scope, then you might want to set it to null, or it will be alive for as long as the class itself is referenced. thats clear. thanks patrick > The instance won't get disposed until you release all its references. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > its scope, then you might want to set it to null, or it will be alive > for as long as the class itself is referenced. patrick, 20.12.2007 11:55: > An object has been added into a Vector v: > v.add(obj); [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Must it first be removed from the v for garbage disposal > to get rid of it.
