bean question

Is there any result differences in the below lines of code? They should do the same thing correct?

LOCAL.playerBean = CreateObject(“component”, “app.nba.bean.playerBean”);
getPlugin(“beanFactory”).populateBean(LOCAL.playerBean);

versus

LOCAL.playerBean = getPlugin(“beanFactory”).populateBean(“app.nba.bean.playerBean”);

We think that have narrowed memory leak issue in our code down to the player portion of our site.

Thanks.
