Good heavens no. Actions are only instantiated once during application lifetime*. If you're lucky enough to have finalize called at all it would be when the server is shutdown/restarted. The only legitimate use for a finalize method, btw, is to clean up non-Java resources (external memory allocated through JNI, closing a file, etc.) I suppose you could put something DB-related in here, but a) certainly not in this case and b) you'd be *much* better off putting it elsewhere.
