And to add to Cam's response: When you replace the object with a new
instance, it is not destroyed immediately. However, you lose all
references to it and it may now be garbage collected. You should
never try to force the GC to run, the Java VM will handle it
automagically for you when needed.

It's marked for GC, and eventually gets collected. Effectively as far
as the app's concerned it's gone immediately.
But, if I want to destroy the object, how do I do that? Maybe this
is not
something that's needed often as I couldn't find an answer via the
docs or
Google.
A few options...
To delete just that one item:
<cfset structDelete(session,'myUserObject') />
However, I usually have a "isLoggedIn" property on the user object
(with a default value of false) and do this:
<cfset session.myUserObject =
createObject('component','path.to.User').init() />
That way the user object still exists, but in recreating it you are
resetting all the props to their default values, with the significant
one here being isLoggedIn = false.
