Hi,

Currently I am creating a WebResource inside a method like this:


    private WebResource resource( String user )
    {
        ClientConfig config = new DefaultClientConfig();
        Client client = Client.create(config);
        client.addFilter( new LoggingFilter() );
        WebResource resource = client.resource( _endpoint + "/" + user );
        return resource;
    }


As you can see, I am not calling client.destroy(). Am I correct to say
that I am probably leaking memory because of this ?

If multiple threads call my method, multiple instances of Client &
WebResource will be created.
When should I call Client.destroy() ? During servlet context shutdown ?
