As my programmer and I continue to troubleshoot our DBCP problems (thanks to everyone, especially Angus for all the feedback), I am looking at some other settings I have made from day 1, and wonder if there are any downsides or benefits to what I have done.
First off, we're running Apache 1.3.27 and Tomcat 4.1.17 with j2sdk1.4.1_01 Everything is running on a Dual P4 1.8Ghz XEON supermicro system (so essentially 4 processors) with 4GB ram, U160 SCSI array, etc.. So, with my CATALINA_OPTS, I am passing the following: export CATALINA_OPTS="-server -Xms512m -Xmx512m -Dlog4j.configuration=file:///opt/tomcat/log4j.properties"; >From everything I have read, it seemed natural set the -server flag, and due to some performance issues we were having, I increased the max/min memory settings. I also get the impression that this creates issues with garbage collection, which Im thinking could relate back to some of our DBCP problems. I welcome any thoughts or suggestions on this. Additionally, running the version of the JDK that I am, M$'s website shows their JDBC driver compatible with up to 1.3, and I wonder if there is any reason to think that some of the problems are related to running a higher version than M$ says they support? Again, any and all suggestions are welcome Rob Engstrom --- robert engstrom CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- Happy Puppy / iGames Publishing <http://www.igames.com> http://www.igames.com <http://www.happypuppy.com> http://www.happypuppy.com
