Destroying IDL-Java Objects

IDL Connectivity Bridges: Using Java Objects in IDL

Destroying IDL-Java Objects

The OBJ_DESTROY routine is used to destroy instances of IDLjavaObject. When OBJ_DESTROY is called with a Java-based object as an argument, IDL releases the underlying Java object and frees IDL resources relating to that object.

Note
Destruction of the IDL object does not automatically cause the destruction of the underlying Java object. Because Java utilizes a garbage collection mechanism to release any information allocated for a particular object, the resources utilized by the underlying Java object will persist until the Java virtual machine's garbage collector runs.
