Temporary Objects - Managing the Java Garbage Collector for Application Quality and Performance

Overview Automatic memory management is considered one of Java’s strong points. The Java garbage collector (GC) automates object and memory management, preventing the memory leaks that can be seen in C++. However, mismanagement of memory can lead to performance degradation, hamper the scalability, and weaken the robustness of your applications. This paper shows how to drill into program’s use of temporary objects to identify problems and improve code quality.
