Since java also adopts the garbage collector mechanism, would java daemon
suffers from the same memory problem ?
PHP uses reference counting, which has some known problems (circular
references).
It is typical not a big problem in PHP due to everything going out
when request scope runs out.
(that of course does not cover native resources in extensions,
but Java does not do anything with those either)
There are many Java implementations and most of them support
multiple garbage collection algorithms, so it is difficult to say
what "Java" does.
But all the most popular uses some type of mark and sweep to
find what is still reachable and what is not.
That does not have the same problems as reference counting.
So assuming that you use a common Java implementation, then
you should not see the same problems as in PHP.
