According to "Just Java " Weak refrences allow a program to have a refrence to an object that does not prevent the object for being reclaimed by the garbage Collector..???Can some one explain what are the "Weak Refrences"???

Reference Objects allow a program to interact with "garbage collector" in a limited way.
Probably, this will not be on SCJP exam. However,
if you are curious about this interesting topic, please
read this article on the JavaSoft Web Site
