Not a stupid question at all. AFAIK, there is no way at the FOP level to force more swapping than occurs now. There might be things you can do at the OS level to increase the amount of virtual memory available. As for "why", the short answer is that it is a non-trivial task to implement this intelligently. However, it is part of what is being addressed in the redesign: http://xml.apache.org/fop/design/index.html#pri-goal-unlimited-size I do not know whether XEP swaps. > And here's my second question, if the first response is "no", do you think > we will be able to generate our monstruously big catalog if we add 2Go RAM > on our server ? Short term, that is the right general solution (there isn't a good way of knowing whether you need 2GB or 200GB). Long term, it might make more sense to contribute developers or money to FOP development to get the redesign work done. We have a bunch of talented developers already working on the project that would love to work on it full-time.
