Re: Urgent! Tomcat4 closed giving Out of Memory Error

[Tim Funk]

When you get "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread" 
it means you are running into an operating system limit. You can give the JVM 
1 Exabyte of memory and you'll still get this error.

Look at the kernel parameters for your machine and the following limits:
1) Threads allowable on the system
2) Threads run by a user
3) Threads run by a process
4) File handles per process
5) File handles per user
Use your OS manual or Google to tweak these parameters.

Hi,

I have stunk on this problem for almost 2 weeks. :-( 
In these two weeks, I have tried many methods, but it still doesn't work.

I built a system to run TPCW benchmark. One web and application server, 
with tomcat4.0 running, one database with mysql4.0 running on it and 
several client machines. The Jave version is j2sdk1.4.0_03. The system 
worked perfect under light load. But when the number of clients 
exceeded some number (like 600), the tomcat4 didn't work anymore.
I checked catalina.out. Sometimes no error message appear, while in some 
time it appeared the error:

SEVERE: Caught exception executing 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], terminating thread
