Restlet creates a new instance of your resource class for each request. It will go out of scope and be eligible for garbage collection after the request is complete. If you are talking about having the resource class itself garbage collected, then I think that calling detach would be sufficient from the restlet perspective. (Whether or not the class will actually be eligible for collection at that point depends on the environment in which you're running.) I've never tried that myself, though.
