The recent posts about FOP running out of memory has me thinking.
Suppose for a second that FOP is run on a Windows 2000 box. Assume the box
has 512 MB of RAM. Pretend that a certain XSL-FO causes the JVM to run out
of memory.
The question is: Can the JVM heap size be set to a value larger
Title: RE: Memory Settings (was: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError)
The short answer is... it's complicated, you can set the VM to a size large than you RAM size, though I would not do this if I were you.
In order to have a heap size of more that 2G you have to be using jdk1.3.1 and above
-Xmx2g
