Greetings,
Tomcat is running, and was working fine until the memory usage went up
to 167, now none of the .jsp pages will respond ( the server hangs
forever ).
The last entries from the Catalina.out are :
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
I don't understand how the JVM could be our of memory because I set it
to use 256M.
So the last time this happened, I wrote a piece of code that would leak
some memory thinking that might be somehow related, but the tomcat
process used more than 167M when I tested that page.
I have set the CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms64M -Xmx256M", and everything looks
right when I list the processes.
ps -elf | grep tomcat :
0 S tomcat4 17629 1 0 85 0 - 315671 schedu Sep21 ?
00:00:04 /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03/bin/java -Xms64M -Xmx256M.
However, after the system shows 167M in top, tomcat no longer responds.
None of the tomcat logs are written to, and I find this in the mod_jk
log :

I am confused. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if
I can provide any more informative details.
Thank you for your time.
Take Care.

PS
I have searched list archives and read the docs about tomcat
OutOfMemoryError, but none seem to address my problem.
