Serializable Objects Posted: Feb 28, 2002 3:57 PM

I have a java application using Serialized Objects for messages between the server app and the client GUI. The problem is: On the client app the memory keeps growing, my thoughts are that the serialized objects are being retained in the client memory space. Is there a way to force these objects to be removed from memory after I take the information I need from these objects?

Can you provide some more detail and maybe some code? Maybe you are keeping the references to these objects around, so they are never collected...

All you have to do according to my knowledge is to null the object after using it....

You just release deserialized objects for garbage collection like any other object. Get rid of all references to them.

If you're doing dynamic class loading, then the dynamically loaded classes are also taking up memory. I highly doubt this is your problem, but some discussion of how to get classes garbage collected is here:

Bill, lets please get back to the old format of these fourms. That was more easier to track and work with.
