You have two options. You can limit the amount of memory that JRun consumes to, say, 512 MB, or you can get more RAM. I recommend the latter. > is what i have explained normal for jrun to behave like this? > and is there not a way for us to manage it more effectively? > if so can anyone point us to any tutorials or guides to help > us understand how we need to manage it better Yes, that's pretty normal. Application servers tend to be resource-intensive; they're not designed to coexist with all the other stuff you run on a personal computer. They tend not to release memory that they've acquired, since acquiring and releasing memory is expensive, and presumably they'll need that memory in the future, so why let it go? For a dedicated application server, there's nothing wrong if it's using all the RAM and CPU cycles, as long as the applications it host perform well.
