Hi, Thanks a lot for the information. I am using java 1.4.1_02 .
> I force the GC to run so that the memory is freed. No. You can not. You can tell the system, that it should. You cannot enforce it. I ask the System to the GC. Sorri for the wrong interpretation. We are pretty soon moving to tomcat5.0.19. But it will take some time. Until then I don't to see outofmemory errors. I guess I should ask the System to run the GC . Regarding memory leaks, I realize that I need to use a profiler . I will do it .

Upgrade. 4.1.30 is latest in 4.1.x. I can even recommend 5.0.19, that I am running without problems. For some it has shown to be even faster. > I force the GC to run so that the memory is freed. No. You can not. You can tell the system, that it should. You cannot enforce it. > What I don't understand why is the total memory maximum. USE A PROFILER. This is a important step. You may be able to adjust some parameters to take the OoME to happen less frequently, but it will NOT solve your memory leaks. > I want tomcat to deallocate and resize the heap so that the total memory doesn't max out. Tomcat cannot deallocate anything, since tomcat is also only a java program. If you do have memory leaks, no java code can change anything. Solve your leaks. > And also I need the GC to run more aggressively. There are some VM options that allow you to control the way, GC works. Read its release notes. BTW, which VM are you using? Upgrade to latest. It was said, that where were StringBuffer memory leaks in at least one of the recent versions.
