Memory Leakage

[Vallabhaneni Suresh Kumar]

Is memory leakage possible in Java? If yes, can you describe a case in which memory leaks may occur, and do you know a way to avoid that?

Thank you

Hello,
Well there is one such case where in you call using JNI code. In the called code you forget to cleanup. In that case there is memory leakage.

First of all, you have to be clear in saying what you mean by "memory leakage". Do you mean to say that, memory not being deallocated by JVM/garbage collector hasnt collected unused objects and released memory?
If yes, this is the right link foryou. Java World Memory Link Q & A
