If you have to do a System.gc() by yourself, you (most) probably did
something wrong with your Bean. And be careful with that call. First the
jvm is free to ignore it. Second it can be a major performance hit. We
once found an application to call System.gc() with every get|post call. We
disabled the System.gc() functionality by starting the jvm with 
-XX:+DisableExplicitGC.

Bye
 Felix
