Hi,
We are able to generate a pdf file of 10,000 records on WAS 3.5 Server - 64 MB Heap size. The generated pdf file is 6.3 MB in size.
When we try to generate the file containing 12,000 records, the application crashes, throwing java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.
Can anyone tell me:
1. Why does iText crash ? What is the most memory intensive part of it ? ( FYI: Our report is full of table rows, if that matters. We are breaking the table on every page end...)
2. Is there any way to remove the Memory error , besides increasing the heap size?
3. Currently we are sending the output to servlet output stream. Will there be any difference if we write the output to a disk file and then give the url for downloading that file to the user ?
It will be really helpful if someone throws light on this memory issue.
Thanks,
Amit Mathur
