Thanks for the reply, Bill. I cloned the RESTEasy repo so I could look at the latest source. I see that ResteasyClient.java has a close() method, but no finalize(). So, I suppose the most conservative course of action would be to specifically invoke ResteasyClient.close() in a finally block for any code that creates an instance.
