Hi

I have this source:
public class MyObject{
   public void SomeMethod(Object anObject);
          ....
          anObject=null;
   }



When I call this method, the anObject in params pass referenced, this means
that I can access the content of anObject in SomeMethod, after that I try to
change the reference:  anObject = null,  and only changes in the method, but
when steps over the method  the reference become the same just before the
method call.

How can I assign null to the reference without returning some value in the
method?

I appretiate your help
