12MB XML >= 500MB RAM?

[Adrian Parker]

Hello,

I'm using Axis 1.4.  When I retrieve a 12MB XML file, the Virtual machine uses more than 500MB (and less than 700).  This sounds a little extreme.  Are there known issues with 1.4?  If I set the -Xmxn flag to much less than 600 an exception is thrown with no message.  When I use -Xmx600m it runs fine though.

Also, Axis seems to use a JAX parser for its SOAP calls, I think, but I read on Apache's site that it uses SAX.  Which does 1.4 use?
