There's just this caveat; All Objects have a reference to their Class, and all Classes have a reference to their ClassLoader, which in turn have references to all Classes that it has loaded. So, if an Object whose Class was loaded by loader A holds a reference to any Object whose Class was loaded by loader B, then you will not be able to GC loader B or any of its classes. -- Venlig hilsen / Kind regards, Christian Vest Hansen. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
