Garbage collection of cache key object's parent.

[Robin Sharma <pr...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
  If the key I used to cache is an object that is a
member of another object, say A. Is A prevented from
being garbage collected? 

Code Example:
     MyObject o = new MyObject();
    
JCS.getInstance().put(o.getSomeObject(),someOtherObject);

My question is, will o is not garbage collected
because there is a ref to its member?

What are the guidelines? Should we clone the key
object if we want to free the object for Garbage
collection?

Will JCS clone keys internally?

Any insight will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Robin
