Hi,
the JVM has 1 GB of memory and i already tried to run the GC manually but it doesn't make a difference. I can start the GC from the profiler tool but the number of instances does not change.
I guess that there are some other references to this objects so that the weak ref. does not expire.
And there are no EventManager exception in the log files.
