Destroy C++ Objects

Good day to all.
In my JNI experiment I have created an object on the C++ side. Meaning, my C++ class has a constructor. I have instantiated the object in my wrapper class and my Java object is "communicating" with it. (able to call methods on it).
My question is whether / how to free memory. I know that in Java if an object is not reachable the GC collects it. I know that JVM has nothing to do with C++ objects. I was told that I could add the
delete(myC++Object) in my wrapper
and it clears the object from memory.
This said, I ran a test. I create the object via JNI and call methods on it.
That works.
I call the delete method and try to call a method, it crashes as expected.
I change my test so that I create 2 objects and invoke methods on one and test the state of both to make sure that I am dealing with only one at a time.
Successful.
I then wrote some unit tests and time trial tests where I create and destroy many objects. I found that if I created and destroyed my object many times, then created it and tried to call methods on it the system crashes. If I remove all of my delete calls, the system doesn't crash.
My questions.
1) Do I have to delete objects that I create through JNI?
2) Why after many instantiations and deletions would the app crash when a method is called on the object?
(I checked the code very well to make sure that I wasn't calling on a deleted object.)
Thank you.

I think you are calling on a deleted object.

Explicitly destroy an object in ABAP

Hi,
i like to destroy an Object explicitly. After the paricular statment the object must be destroyed.
if i set the reference of the object to null.when the object will be deleted? immediately or during automatic garbage collection.
Thanks and regards,
Prakash.

Hi,
you can do in OLE also.
INCLUDE OLE2INCL.

How do i destroy an object explicitly ?

I need to explicitly destroy an object ... how do i do it ?
1) set object to null
2) call finalize on the object
3) ur suggestion pls...

I need to explicitly destroy an objectNo, you don't.
... how do i
do it ?You can't.
1) set object to nullObjects are never null. Only references can be null. If you set the only reachable reference to the object to null (or to any value other than pointing at that object), then the object becomes eligible to be garbage collected. When--or if--it actually gets cleaned up is beyond your control, but it's guaranteed to happen if the memory is needed.
2) call finalize on the objectNo. Never call finalize. The GC calls it for you. (And you should rarely if ever override finalize.)
3) ur suggestion pls...Read up on Java's garbage collection so that you understand why you don't need to do this.
This article is about something else, but it starts off with a decent intro to GC. You can also google for java garbage collection tutorial or something.

Destroying an object...

I have a help window that I am using for a program I have written. When you click the help button it creates a new object of the help window class:
theHelpWindow = new HelpWindow();
When you close the help window all I do is setVisible( false ) to get rid of the window. I am wondering if there is a way to destroy the object instead of just turning off the window because this will continually create new objects and windows every time the help window is called. Any suggestions?

The gc() will clean only the null valued, unreferanced objects.
The best way is calling dispose();

Can you destroy an object?

I have been looking around for an answer to this question a little while and have also posted on the Java .net forums too.
But Im writing a little game where things appear on the screen, then because of user interaction, they dissapear. simple enough, I have my objects stored in a sequence, that I bind to a Group{} in my main Frame.
The issue is that each of these objects get removed from the game via the *delete sequence* code segment and because they have their own timelines which does its own collision detection, the object never seems to get de-referenced and after a while I get out of memory exceptions and the game slows down to a halt.
Firstly, I added functions to stop all timelines in each element before deleting it from the sequence, but it didnt appear to work as the game still slows down.
So my question is, can you destroy an object? I just need it gone completly, and if there is a work-around, how can I be sure that it works? Currently the netbeans profiler isnt too easy to read, but that just maybe me (anyone else having issues reading the results of a JavaFX profiled app?)
Thanks for any help that you can think of...
Mark

Are you 100% certain that there are no references to the object left after you remove it from the sequence? There is no way to explicitly destroy objects in Java; and this behavior extends to JavaFX. If you check the code and you're 100% sure that no references are left hanging out there, check Jira.

How to remove/destroy previous object from memory

hi guys, I am getting problem of memory of having repeating object.
Below is my code.
import flash.system.System;
var counter:Number=0;
var systemMemory:TextField=new TextField();
systemMemory.x=200;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,showNext);
function showNext(event:Event){
    var myTxt:TextField=new TextField();
    myTxt.text=counter.toString();
    myTxt.width=100;
    myTxt.height=20;
    myTxt.x=Math.random()*100;
    systemMemory.text="Total Memory Used :"+System.totalMemory.toString();
    systemMemory.width=300;
    addChild(systemMemory);
    addChild(myTxt);
    counter++;
Above code does repeat textField Object continuously. Now I want to destroy previous created textField Object. So that my memory will not be hang. I got some where in the blog that with System.gc() could clear garbage collection. But currently I am not working with system.gc any more I want to clear previous object in programatically way. Is there any way that I could destroy previous created object ?

ok, thanks for your kind replay. Above is my test case. Actually, I need to do show 4 texfield in each FRAME_ENTER with different text properties's value + previous textFields should be remove and comes next 4 textField.
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.system.System;
var frameNo:Number=0;
var txtFieldGroup:Array=new Array();
var mem:TextField=new TextField();
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,showTxtFields);
function showTxtFields(event:Event):void{
    var eachGap:Number=100*frameNo;
    /* Removing data from txtFieldGroup if there any data */
    if(txtFieldGroup.length>0){
        txtFieldGroup.length=0;
    /* created textField objects and set it in an array */
    for(var i:Number=0; i<4; i++){
        /*txtFieldGroup[frameNo][i]=frameNo.toString()+":"+i.toString();*/
        txtFieldGroup[i]=new TextField();
        txtFieldGroup[i].text=frameNo.toString()+i.toString();
        txtFieldGroup[i].y=(20*i)+eachGap;
        addChild(txtFieldGroup[i]);
    // System Memory Message
    mem.text="System Memory: "+System.totalMemory;
    mem.x=250;
    mem.width=300;
    addChild(mem);
    // Frame No increment
    frameNo++;
here, from above script it created 4 txtObject in each frame no. I have clear array in each frame no. But I could not remove textFieldObject from CPU Memory. As you can see textField object of mem. As you say in earlier post making 4 different textfield at initialy is nice option to control over CPU Memory. Is there any technique so that I could remove previous created textField object because . I am also having problem why my textfields are shows more than 4. I was expecting only 4 textField in each frame. Please you suggestion is required. Thanks for studying my confusion.

Help!!! create & destroy CORBA object at run time

I am develop an program using CORBA (Java IDL and JDK 1.3 on Win 98 OS) that involved login-logout mechanism. Someone can login into my program, by access HTML file from the server machine that contained an applet, via browser (NN 6).
(the client and server run on same machine)
If somebody login, says Mr.X, and make mistakes by type an invalid password, my program still (can) work by opening a wrong account/record belong to other people who (login and) logout last time before Mr.X login. It is a wrong result.
I know the reason why this could be happen, its all because Java IDL support the CORBA transient object type. This transient object has the same lifetime as the execution of the server process that creates it. And it cause a problem for me.
According to the explanation above, i have some questions :
1. How to create, access, and destroy (delete) any CORBA object on demand (at run time) without have to shut down the server (process), in order to release any data/record hold by the CORBA object ?
2. If Java IDL cannot create and destroy a CORBA object on demand (at run time), how do I solve my problem above ?
If Java IDL cannot delete any CORBA object at run time, can it just delete any value (refresh data) that the object hold so any new data can be add again ?
3. if i run my program on 2 different machine, it result an error : COMM_FAILURE minor code 1398079490. How do I fix it ? any solution for this error ?
i really need any help, this program is my final project
i will appreciate any help and answers
thanks in advance

I'm using the POA implementation in java 1.4, but the api docs
aren't very helpful in terms of what all the various policy
values really do. I've got a servant that gets created by a
request on a different object, and needs to stay around until
the client tells it to go away. All the material that I've found
on how to use CORBA in Java is either pre-POA, or doesn't
cover any kind of management policies like servant retention.
Can someone tell me how to do this, or am I stuck trying to
wade through the CORBA 2.3 spec and hoping that I can
figure out how the stuff really works in Java?

Destroying session objects

Is there any way to destroy some session objects (ResultSet), when user leaves some Servlet page?

You aren't going to know when the user stops looking at the page (if that is what you meant). But there is no need to wait, you could put the code to remove the objects from the session at the end of your JSP or servlet. After all, the user is never going to use them again.

Destroy/remove object /movieclip

Hi,
how do I completly remove a movieclip that is created as a
new class.
I have an event listener that does a removeChild like this
e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
is this enough or do I have to 'null' the object? I can't
just do
'e.target = null' because the property is read only. Will the
internal
garbage collection do the rest for me if I have no references
somewhere
else?
TIA

That's no fun then; apparently I wasn't accurate.
The simple matter is, that garbage collection is automatic
and removes an unreferenced object when it needs to, so as long as
you remove all reference to the object you wish to remove,
including the event listener, then at some point the garbage
collection will run and empty your item from memory. Sorry for any
confusion.

Map.put() can destroy other objects' maps

Hi,
I assign a new value to an already existing key in a map:
map.put(key1, value1);
map.put(key1, value2);
While still ok in memory, the state of many maps in the database becomes
invalid.
The statement that Kodo logs is the following:
UPDATE JUNIT.MAPWI_MAP SET JDOID = ?, JDOID_VALUE = ? WHERE JDOID_KEY
= ?
Instead of just changing the value in the map's table, Kodo also changes
the owner.
I think the following statement would be correct:
UPDATE JUNIT.MAPWI_MAP SET JDOID_VALUE = ? WHERE JDOID_KEY = ? AND
JDOID = ?
A workaround is to check if a key is already in a map and removing it
before assigning it a new value. That way Kodo makes "delete" + "insert"
instead of "update".
We use Kodo 3.0.0 on Oracle.

Thank you very much for this bug report. We've fixed the problem
internally; 3.0.1 will include the fix.

How to destroy object after use.

Hello friends,
i have used one class which is making telnet connection to some remote system and running commands over remote system.
after finishing everything successful, that telnet connection is not closed.
how can i close the telnet connection explicitly. i think if we forcefully destroy the class object, then the telnet connection will be closed automatically.
Is there any method to destroy the object explicitly with out using finalize() method.

As soon as you get to the point where you want to destroy an object ... pull out your sledgehammer and swing away.Will that work if it's executing on a remote server?I don't know, but I'd like to give it a try. ;-)Stop stop stop stop it please
LMAO... Yep, there it goes... Don't look at me like that ya' smelly hairy little... Now i've compeltey lost it.

Destroying Objects.

Hello.
I know that the garbage collector destroys objects when the program is terminated. But i have one class called Network and i make an instance of it on prpgram start.. later i should destroy it and make another instance on demand..
so is there a way to destroy an object ?
i tried:
Network aNet = new Network(Port);
aNet.destroy();
but that caused an exception.. so how should it be done ?
thx!

All the object references must be null. As it's practically impossible to keep track of those references, you need a wrapper (you need to provide assessors for every method and accessible variable of the wrapped object)

[JAVA] Destroy object itself

Hello
i must simulate a web application by java program.
In main i call login form. This must create a Session object associated with user. The costructor of Session object must checks in database if username exist. If username exist it initializes other Session object variables, otherwise it must destroy itself, because the session can't be created.
In login form, before use Session object, i use "instanceof" to check if Session object exist, but how i can destroy Session object itself?
If you have another similar idea, post it please.
Bye.

This must create a Session objectDon't create Session object before login authentication/authorization.
