Hi, sorry for asking again a memory problem but I can't find the "one and only" answer in the archive.
I'm using tomcat 4.0.2 with jdk1.4.0_01 on a redhat linix. In the tomcat configuration I set the JAVA_OPTS -Xms***m -Xmx***m. In the server.xml I left only the http connector with only 1 min- and maxProcessor and only 1 acceptCount. When starting tomcat several processes/threads are opened but I know they use the displayed memory together, so it's OK. When using -Xms20m -Xmx20m and starting my web application and watching the memory using "top" the memory used by several threads increases up to 60 MB before the browser shows an out of memory error. When using -Xms70m -Xmx70m the browser shows no out of memory but the memory usage increases up to 150MB. The problem: How can I calculate this difference so that I can set the option to a value that does not outlimit my memory ? On a windows machine I can set this values to -Xmx400m and the tomcat/java uses only 400MB and then crashes. But the Linux machine (with 512MB memory, no other programs running, only tomcat) suddenly starts swapping when using the limits -Xmx300m after a while. The swapping is getting so heavy, that the computer totally blocks and has to be restarted. So I need the correct numbers for the JAVA_OPTS that really only 400MB will be used ! Thanks a lot and sorry if I missed the right answer !
