Java doesnt leak in the same vein as other languages but you can still get memory leaks by retaining references to objects after they are not required any more.

Fair point -- if you haven't enough memory overhead, then until the garbage collector kicks in to free objects up you will have a problem. > >Also as others have suggested, check your code for memory leaks -- >especially if it's not under load when it dies. But hey, I thought one of the big selling points is that Java DOES NOT LEAK! Am I mistaken? Isn't it's absence of pointers its big plus? If it does leak then changing the heap size is going to be irrelevant. No matter how large you set it it will bite you in the bum eventually! > >--David > _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
