Simply not true. Only reference counter collectors have issues with circular references, and no modern JVMs use that technique. A set of objects that are referenced only by themselves are not reachable from the roots and are easily collectable. Here's a decent reference for memory tuning: http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc5.0/gc_tuning_5.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
