One thing which I noticed while doing emp. Even after doing emp. Hello, for PhantomReference, One use is during a finalize method, which guarantees that the object is not resurrected during finalization and thus can be garbage collected in a single cycle, rather than needing to wait for a second GC cycle to ensure that it has not been resurrected.
Sometimes we need doing this. It cans happened when we need either free not managed resources or , for example inform application about the instance is not available. But it should not be a usual practice in any case. Nice post and Great work lokesh sir, our post are really helpful for freshers and exp people………….. Correct me if i wrong. Dear Lokesh, If object become abandon or eligible for gc, then why gc will call finalize method before sweeping that obj?
GC will not call finalize. The idea behind finalizes is that application can perform some clean up before objects using that resource garbage collected and leave resource open without any use. If the object responsible for cleanup is garbage collected before even cleaning up resource, then it is against the desired use case. This is correct. Finalizing has nothing really to do with GC in an under-the-hood sense.
Each object that overrides the Object finalize method will have a Finalizer object associated with it. This is a reference, and as such GC will not recognize the object as unreferenced and will not consider it for GC.
Once it has been finalized then GC can clean it up as an unreferenced object. Best approach is that don;t use finalize. Use finally instead to clean up resources in normal routine and attach shutdown hooks for application shutdown. For the record, the garbage collector is the one that is not guaranteed — this, in effect makes the finalize method not guaranteed as well. Yes, even if you set the object to null.
To clarify, you likely mean that you set the reference to null. Also, as stated before, GC does not perform finalization. Fair enough.

Remember it is not a reserved keyword. Once the finalize method completes immediately Garbage Collector destroy that object. Syntax: Attention reader!
Get hold of all the important Java Foundation and Collections concepts with the Fundamentals of Java and Java Collections Course at a student-friendly price and become industry ready. Since it is available for every java class hence Garbage Collector can call the finalize method on any java object Why finalize method is used? JVM allows finalize to be invoked only once per object.

Regards, Balkrishan Nagpal Bernhard Glomann via java-l wrote: ITtoolbox java-l The finalize method is supposed to be called implicitly by the garbagecollector. Balkrishan, I was thinking of the case where you extend a class other than Object that already has a non-empty finalize method. You can override the method and do it public if you want, however, according to the contract of the finalize method, it would not make any sense.
A method is public if you pretend to offer some service through it, but no other class or object should invoke finalize directly. It should only be invoked by JVM before garbage collection. Then, the best you can do is declare it protected. If you do it public, well, we already talked about it. Then the best option is to make it protected.
Does that sound logical to you?
