HI,
I am working on a 265MB NT m/c.
If i dont do any specific configuration and if the memory consumed by tomcat
reaches about 64mb, then TOMCAT starts giving outofmemory exception.
I tried setting the heap size as suggested, using the following command in
tomcat.bat
set TOMCAT_OPTS= -Xmx128m
but it did not work. When the memory consumed by TOMCAT reaches to 64mb, it
starts giving out of memory exceptions.
I have another doubt.
Why the objects are not getting garbage collected? I have checked using a
profiling tool, which shows that objects do not have any reference and
ready to get garbage collected.
Do i need to do anything specific for enabling the garbage collector in
tomcat environment?
regards,
Bhala
