Hello Nix

Are you looking for a memory leak in your web application or in tomcat?

Short answer is it's not easy.

The garbage collection mechanism in the JVM will cleanup any objects  
that are no longer referenced.  Therefore, you are only concerned with  
objects that remain referenced (which in an ideal world should be  
relatively few).


To test if your app is indeed exponentially increasing, you could  
start the JVM with the -Xverbose:gc option and watch the output for a  
while.


If not, a good (commercial) tool is JProbe

One of the things I had done in my past projects was to run a thread which 
periodically executes the freeMemory /totalMemory methods on Runtime class in 
JVM, this will at least tell you how the memory is utilised, but pinpointing 
the leak may need a commercial tool.
