I'm not at all familiar with WAS internals. Is garbage collection specific to a particular session? If not, then your suggestion will affect everyone, not only the particular user that just got a response. It would likely generate a lot more garbage collection activity than otherwise.

Java heapsize -snip- Also, I think I dimly recall that there's some way in Java to force garbage collection. So in your app, pick a place where you're generally waiting for the user anyway--maybe right after repainting the screen waiting for user input--and force a gc there. Since the user will presumably be reading new data from the screen anyway, he won't notice that the system is briefly unresponsive, since he's not actually telling it to do anything at that moment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
