I have been thinking about best practices with Geronimo. One of the things
that I have been thinking about is the life of EJB's inside the EJB container.
I am wondering if I should be setting used EJB's to null when I am done with
them or should I just let the container handle it. Example Code:
@Stateless
public class MyEJB implements IMyEJB
{
@EJB(name="AnotherEJBLocal")
private IAnotherEJBLocal m_anotherEJB;
// Do some stuff with m_anotherEJB;
protected void finalize()
{
m_anotherEJB = null; // Should I do this or let Geronimo handle it
}
}
Should I be including the finalizer code as I have it? Should I just let
Geronimo handle the life cycle? Is there a different/better way to handle
this? Any philosophical insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
