Hello, My Servlet Enviroment is : Tomcat3.2.2b2 , Apache 1.3.17-10,mod_ssl 2.7.1-0, SUSE 7.1, ajp13 with mod_jk. When i ran my Servlets, the Memusage will grow up, thats normal ;-)) But when you make massiv Client request, the memusage rise extremly. The shell brings Messages from "Broken pipe", when I start a new request, bevor the old one is answered.I have a Load from 70% of 98 MB Ram. when i wait, the Mem will never becomes free. What does TOmcat, when a exception is thrown ? Don't give it all the resources free ? What becomes with a Servlet Instanz, when the doPost or doGet Methode is done ? Stay it in the Mem ? Must I call the destroy() Methode to do this ? How could I avoid these heavy and resistent mem load ? I will have a sercure site, and when it hangs Up the system with simple massivs request, it will be not so good. ;-) Is this right, or have I misunderstood some things with the Servlet implementation. I hope someone knows a reslution for this, Please please help, thank you for inconvenience, Michael Wollenhaupt
