Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I've given up with my perl HTTP client scripts and tested my servlets with JMeter, from an other box on the LAN. I've also installed OptimizeIt Demo (great software, I think we'll purchase it) and ran the JVM from within. I started JServ and tested my JDBC servlet with JMeter during about 18 hours / 170,000 requests / no problem: no leak, no excessive memory allocation, ... The differences between the two sets of tests are: A: JVM / JServ started by a shell script * JVM (JDK 1.2.2 RC3 from blackdown) in native threads mode * HTTP client perl scripts doing the torture-testing on the same box * Xmax heap limit B: JVM / JServ started from OptimizeIt (with several types of auditing options...) * JVM (JDK 1.2.2 RC3 from blackdown) in green threads mode * JMeter doing the torture-testing on another box * no Xmax heap limit My third test will look like this: C: JVM / JServ started by a service shell script (forking,...) * JVM (JDK 1.2.2 RC3 from blackdown) in green threads mode * JMeter doing the torture-testing on another box * no Xmax heap limit I'm using jdbc:oracle:thin driver from Oracle 8i for Linux (classes111.zip) and the "gnu.regex" package from http://www.gnu.org/software/java/ At 10:51 06/01/00 +0100, you wrote: >This is from a mail from Nick Bauman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> some while back on >this list: [ how to increase some of the Linux limits... ] Thank you for posting that very usefull information. I've not tried it yet, but I keep it in a safe place! By the way, I like this very much : OptimizeIt / OptimiZeit ...
