that's correct for Session where you use logout but not for Repository. If you connect to a remote repository, the Repository instance usually just holds the information how a session can connect to the remote repository on login. the repository instance itself usually does not hold resources. so, you just leave it to the GC to do the cleanup. regards marcel
