Questions about persisten property

[Samuel Cheung <sy...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

If I create persistent property like this:
<property-specification name="path" type="java.lang.String" 
persistent="yes"/>
And I have abstract method like these:
    public abstract String getPath();
    public abstract void setPath(String path);

Does tapestry maintain a "copy" or a "reference" of the  path?
i.e. if I do a setPath(myPath) and later on, I do a "getPath()" will the 
2 objects be the same ( == return true)?

And when will the reference of the 'path' be free?

Thank you.

Sam

reference.

Should be the same.

When it is garbage collected. This is possible if 
the session is timed out or invalidated.
