sure,
the reason I was asking is that I've also been thinking about this and
got stuck pretty quickly.
it's no biggie to add an explicit method to do this: we're used to
writing init() functions, so writing a finalise() (not "finaliZe")
should be no biggie... but you'd have to remember to call it (and,
apart from closing a file or something what would you use it for? I
can't think of anything else...)
but (in the case of sessions timing out or a CFC instance being
garbage collected) what's really needed is the component being self
aware of it's impending doom.
I wonder if it's possible to tap into the underlying java? but would
you have to re-write the java class loaders so you can override the
java.lang.Object's finalize()?
my head hurts...
-------------------------------------
protected void finalize() throws Throwable {}
* every class inherits the finalize() method from java.lang.Object
* the method is called by the garbage collector when it determines
no more references to the object exist
* the Object finalize method performs no actions but it may be
overridden by any class
-------------------------------------

Option 3: I want to run (not necessarily clean up) code when the object
is (about to be) destroyed. I am pretty sure I read that the code inside
a CFC but outside any functions gets run at CFC creation time. I was
just curious if a similar mechanism existed for CFC destruction time.
The CFC could be cached in session, request or application scope, was
hoping for something scope agnostic, and it's more of a "the programmer
wants to play" than a "the programmer needs this for his job" type
scenario.
Thanks
