Hi Sarel, regarding the jvm settings you might want to look at http://web.bvu.edu/staff/david/index.jsp?section=software&subsection=tcservcfg&page=overview from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/windows.html. I havent tried the utility myself but has modified the parameters in the Windows registry. To do that add/change relevant paremeters in HKEY_LOCAL _MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet --> Services -> Apache-Tomcat -> Parameters (using TC 4.1 though...)
The syntax in your case is then -Xms128m -Xmx1024m. As yoy say DB connections cannot be reset I would make sure the used connections are being returned to the connection pool or in case you are not using a pool being closed properly - and then ASAP use connection pooling instead. Anyway I would till consider upgrade both the JVM and Tomcat. Last I should note am not that Tomcat savy so perhaps some of the more experienced folks in here would shed some light upon this issue...

I think that BEA Jrockit or latest JVM from Sun could be good solutions... Note that with BEA JVM the -option is deprecated , so leaving the default parameter (jrockit) is a good choice HTH Jerome -- Auteur cahier du programmeur Java tome 2 - Eyrolles 10/2003 http://www.eyrolles.com/php.informatique/Ouvrages/ouvrage.php3?ouv_ean13=9782212111941 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <FONT SIZE=1 FACE="Arial">_______________ Vi goer opmaerksom paa, at denne e-mail kan indeholde fortrolig information.
