Deterministic memory management in a computing environment

A memory management method implemented for execution by one or more processors, the method comprising:

• monitoring instantiation of objects during a web session established between a client applet and a server over the world wide web, wherein the client applet submits requests to the server and one or more objects are instantiated by a servlet application running on the server to service the submitted requests, wherein server memory space is allocated to said one or more objects instantiated by the servlet;
• determining execution scope of a first object instantiated by the servlet, in response to the server receiving a request from the client applet, wherein the execution scope of the first object is determined according to a context in which the first object is instantiated, wherein the context is defined based on a runtime flow of the servlet as managed by the servlet's web container implemented to define the runtime environment and detect application, task, and task specific components of the servlet;
• and
• deallocating the server memory space allocated to the first object, in response to determining that the execution scope of the first object has expired.

A memory management system comprising:

• one or more processors for controlling memory management operations;
• a logic unit for monitoring instantiation of objects during a web session established between a client applet and a server over the world wide web, wherein the client applet submits requests to the server and one or more objects are instantiated by a servlet application running on the server to service the submitted requests, wherein server memory space is allocated to said one or more objects instantiated by the servlet;
• a logic unit for determining execution scope of a first object instantiated by the servlet, in response to the server receiving a request from the client applet, wherein the execution scope of the first object is determined according to a context in which the first object is instantiated, wherein the context is defined based on a runtime flow of the servlet as managed by the servlet's web container implemented to define the runtime environment and detect application, task, and task specific components of the servlet;
• and
• a logic unit for deallocating the server memory space allocated to the first object, in response to determining that the execution scope of the first object has expired.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory data storage medium having a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

• monitor instantiation of objects during a web session established between a client applet and a server over the world wide web, wherein the client applet submits requests to the server and one or more objects are instantiated by a servlet application running on the server to service the submitted requests, wherein server memory space is allocated to said one or more objects instantiated by the servlet;
• determine execution scope of a first object instantiated by the servlet, in response to the server receiving a request from the client applet, wherein the execution scope of the first object is determined according to a context in which the first object is instantiated, wherein the context is defined based on a runtime flow of the servlet as managed by the servlet's web container implemented to define the runtime environment and detect application, task, and task specific components of the servlet;
• and
• deallocate the server memory space allocated to the first object, in response to determining that the execution scope of the first object has expired.
