They might, and they might not, that's the point. Other VM implementations can choose to ignore System.gc(), or even Sun implementations on certain platforms (many J2ME installations ignore these calls). >Well, 1.5beta2 (that's rather recent, ai?)

That depends on your platform and settings. >I have to debug this now, it will be interesting to see if it is Tomcat >code or my code that have the bug..! ;) It is expected that every reload will increase total memory usage, monotonically, it's not a bug, and there are numerous discussions about this and related issues in the arhicves. >Btw: you can turn on "verbose gc" on the JVM, this is cool: > >-verbose:gc > Report on each garbage collection event. > >And then, Yoav, you can se that your objects are killed -when you invoke >gc()-! ;) Again, only under some (certainly the most common) settings.
