Even though you might not think a profiler would be useful, it might not hurt to just poke around and see what's up.
JProbe is a useful tool for debugging/profiling these types of errors, you can remotely connect and watch things like object creation, heap usage, etc..See what types of objects have been allocated most,what things may not be being garbage collected,etc.. -----Original Message----- From: Kito D. Mann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 2:16 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [OT] OutOfMemoryError when I have plenty of heap Casey, If you're using JSP, and you have a large number of pages running in a single VM, you may be filling up the "permanent generation" area of the VM's memory. This is a fixed amount of memory dedicated to classes, methods, and so on (reflective data). Since JSPs are compiled into classes, it's actually possible to fill up this area of memory and consequently get an OutOfMemoryError. You can, of course, increase the size -- see http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/ for details.
