hi bert, the 119MB is the amount of memory used by the java process (i.e. heap and other resources).
the -Xmx parameter specifies the maximum size of the heap, i.e. not the maximum size of memory used by the process. the other numbers tell you that the heap's current size is 64MB of which 19MB are free. to tune the memory parameters you can do the following: - enable logging for the store janitor (component that can flush stores/caches when memory gets low) - have it enabled long enough a period and have the webapp used - the store janitor logs the values mentioned (current total and free heap sizes) in a determined interval - later you can infer from those logs a more or less optimal value for the maximum heap size and you might want to restrict those memory settings to tomcat by setting CATALINA_OPTS instead of JAVA_OPTS > -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Auftrag von Bert Van Kets > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 3.
