Is there a swap setting >for tomcat? \ There's no swap setting for tomcat, nor for Java, as that's not something the JVM controls: it's an OS-level issue. The requested for promotion part means the JVM wanted to promote objects from the new generation to the older one, but had no room. It could be that your apps are fine, there's no leak, and you just need to allocate more memory to the heap using the -Xmx parameter.
