clearing heap on applet exit?
Jan 18th, 2009, 2:53am  
Hi everyone,

I have an processing applet online that takes up a good chunk of, but not all of, the heap space (~40MB). It works when you start it up a browser. But since browsers don't quit running Java until they are completely closed, the applet gets an OutOfMemoryError whenever I navigate away from the applet and then come back to it (as if the previous instance of the applet's data was still there hogging up memory).

Is there any way within processing/java to clear the heap space on applet exit so that this doesn't happen??

Thanks for any advice,
Dan
