Adding a question to this note: I have a maximum heap size of 768mb, and for a freshly started server, it sits at 65mb. Throughout the day, it works itself near the max. Users finish at 7pm, and first thing in the morning the server has not reclaimed *any* memory - i.e. if I want to stop Tomcat running out of memory and crashing, I need to restart the server every morning. Is this solely down to the app or what? I am running Tomcat 5.0.18, (shortly to be upgraded to 5.0.27) could issues with Tomcat .18 be causing this (there are some memory related notes in the Tomcat CHANGELOG). Thanks, Pete.
