Resetting the service¶

Services are singletons. Existing instances are stored in a global array. This may have the undesirable effect that the instance you get is not brand new and shiny, but loaded with data from its previous call. To avoid that, whenever an instance is recalled, TYPO3 CMS will call the reset() method of the service, where any necessary clean up can be performed.

If you think this is needed for the particular service that you are developing, then don’t forget to implement the reset() method.
