I think you are mistakenly replacing *.NET Server* with *.NET*, which is a Virtual Machine, just as the JVM is. Since *.NET* is delivered together with *.NET Server*, there is a Garbage Collector within the .NET environment, which is used by languages such as C#, VB.NET and Managed C++.

Hi Steffen,
Thanks for your reply. What you say confirms my understanding of how the JVM works.
We start Tomcat from the command prompt as an application.
We have been using various settings for the OPTS. Currently its set as:
set AVA_OPTS= -server -Xmx512M -XX:MaxNewSize=256M -Xminf.5 -Xmaxf.8 -XX:NewSiz e=2m -XX:NewRatio=3 -Xcompactgc -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseAdaptiveSizePolic y -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xloggc:%M_JVM_LOG_FILE% -XX:+PrintTLE
Previously we have set the following as well (and a lot of others as well such as changing the GC algorithm etc)
#set JAVA_OPTS= -Xms256m -Xmx256m -Xgc:parallel -Xcleartype:gc (the min and max heap was set to the same as we have memory on our server (4GB) and wanted to avoid the overhead associated with growing the JVM that require multiple system calls resulting in segmented system memory.)
I was thinking its a windows 2003 garbage collection issue as they seem to have changed their memory handing concept and now use the garbage collection concept. In windows 2000, it was different. And when we were running our webapps on windows 2000, it was fine. Unfortunately we recently moved our webapps to a new dedicated server with a new hosting company and it came with windows 2003.
Thanks for any assistance.
Travis

Subject: AW: Windows 2003 Java VM memory leak due to C# garbage collection
algorithm
butHi
What I want to know is even if our program has a memory leak, it should
crash the JVM right?
No, your program (better your webapp) should get OutOfMemoryExceptions and
should continue running. Mostly, it will not do sensful things any more,
Serverit should NEVER crash the JVM.
It should not keep increasing the memory allocated from the Windows
approx.2003 O/S.
Right. It should go about 64 MB over your max heap setting (which is
the jvm overhead), but not 1 GB above. There is something wrong. Are youHow
sure you specified both MIN AND MAX heap values? Can you show your OPTS?
Iare you starting tomcat - as service or as application?
Could this be a issue with the Windows server 2003 garbage collection as
collection.read it is written using C#? anyone has any idea if this is the problem?
No.
Windows 2003 server has nothing to do with applications garbage
Java JVM have their own garbage collector, you can even choose one fromprovides
command line - what you could try.
Windows 2003 itself has no garbage collection at all. Windows 2003
.net by default, which itself works semtantically like a VM and whichitself
DOES HAVE a garbage collector. That one IS used for C#, but I doubt it issince
written in C#.
And even if it would be written in C#, that should not be the problem,
it is used in really huge applications and has not shown to be a bigsource
of leaks so far.
