Class FinalizablePhantomReference<T>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FinalizableReference

    public abstract class FinalizablePhantomReference<T>
    extends PhantomReference<T>
    implements FinalizableReference
    Phantom reference with a finalizeReferent() method which a background thread invokes after the garbage collector reclaims the referent. This is a simpler alternative to using a ReferenceQueue.

    Unlike a normal phantom reference, this reference will be cleared automatically.
