Yes Simon, exactly the case....
:-) In this report there are pearls like : "Webobjects is a framework
in disuse". ...sigh....
Ah, just tell them they are a bunch of ignorant bog trotters! ;-)
Well, OK ... seriously ... isn't that what the garbage collector
does??!!! It calls finalize() to release resources and destroys
objects to reclaim memory ..... are these seasoned java programmers
or just some Windoze-keyboard-prodding IT guys trying to guard
their turf, keep their jobs, impress the boss and play "beat the
vendor up"?!!
So they have determined that the garbage collector is calling the
finalize() method of objects ....... wow .... just like the Java
1.5 API says (am I missing something here? .... please someone
correct *me* if *I* am the ignorant bog trotter!)

BTW, did they ever hear of the iTunes Music Store which runs on
WebObjects platform? ... I think that is a pretty good testimonial.

Hi list,
We are running in discussions with some IT guys of one of our
clients that are criticizing us for the use of WO.
Some of the arguments are pure rubish and not a problem at all.
But one of the points they are stating is that, by the analysys of
the garbage collector ,they are detecting the use of finalize()
methods that, by ther judgement, is "bad practice", and harm the GC.
We don't call directly any finalize() in our methods.
Could anybody provide us with some opinion about this issue?
- where are the finalize() methods?(EOF, Wonder, ?)
- how this use could affect GC perfomance?
- is it a valid point "per se"?
Thanks in advance for help.
Bests regards,
