When looking at Java memory usage you should be aware that when you allow a certain heap size, this doesn't mean all of the heap is actually used at some point. A good behaving Java app will allocate up to the max heap, both "active" object and "dead" objects that are about to be garbage collected. Over time the garbage will be collected by the VM and the memory usage of java.exe might drop. Or not. It really depends on your JVM and the settings you are using.
So what I'm saying is, don't look at the java.exe memory usage, it's just an indication of what is going on. If you really like to monitor the memory, hook up a tool like jconsole so see how the allocated memory is used by the VM. Typically Mid-Tier sucks all of the memory available up to a certain amount, depending on your application. Some would call that leaking, others would call that design :P Hugo On 8/10/07, Axton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What are the min and max allowed heap?
