Howdy, I completely agree with Senor Einfeldt's comments, having found exactly the same results in my experience with -server. Waiting for Tiger's -server fixes.
To the original poster: any objects with dangling references may not be recycled when your app is restarted. These can have bad consequences, such as excessive memory use or stale data, or even tomcat-killing errors such as the dreaded CL: Lifecycle Stopped one ;) You should very carefully inspect your app to close all resources that you can: basically, if it has a public close()/shutdown()/terminate()/whatever function, use it ;) This applies to DB objects, such as the connection/statement/result set/connection pool, but also to others like JMS connections/sessions, mail sessions, transactions, etc. Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Ralph Einfeldt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 2:00 AM >To: Tomcat Users List >Subject: RE: Memory leaks? > >In my experience this is not a good recommendation: > >- -server is less stable than -client in all JDK's that I tried, > and this has been confirmed by several list members. > >- -server won't help much on out of memory errors.
