release

public void release()

Release this future so that it can be garbaged collected remotely This is only useful for remote asynchronous. This is import to call especially for remote otherwise the remote future on the server will never get garbaged collected. AsynchProvider will call release if it is holding a Future already within its threadlocal when a new one is set on it.
