What alternative is there to the recycle method in Java's HttpMethod?

Question

We're using the PostMethod in org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods and noticed that the recycle method from the HttpMethod interface has been deprecated.

Is there an alternative to this method?

Answer 1

I think the idea is to simply create a new one.

The cost of creating new short lived objects is actually pretty cheap and a lot less error prone than attempting to maintain an object pool.
