Look at the FAQ which will tell you what options you have. You may also want to search the mailing list archives. > The second question is how to make tomcat release memory when a servlet > is finished? - But that is probably a different list... Tomcat doesn't have to release anything in this context when a servlet is finished, I think. It's more a question of how the VM handles memory and how it reclaims it (Garbage collection). If you generate the same report a few times on after another you shouldn't see a steady increase of memory usage. It will go up in the beginning but roughly stabilize after a moment. If it doesn't there maybe something wrong with your servlet.
