I had this trouble, some of it is due to not closeing, and destroying everything, some
is due to sessions living too long.
The best thing to do is make sure you are using hotspot (-server JVM option for sun's
Linux distro) this will quickly fix all leaks not due to your code, as it beefs-up
(thats a technical term BTW ;-) the garbage collector.
On the other hand hot spot has a known "issue" in that it periodically dies with a
cryptic error :-( no pain no gain as they say... check the list archive for more on
the memory problem and the hotspot bug, they've been round the block a few times.
But.. take heart I got a servelet to serve over 2 million hits in 36 hours on linux,
connecting to MySQL, with no increase in memory allocated after the initial small
rise.

Subject: Re: Tomcat memory-leak problem
You should probably look at your code for possible memoey leaks: not closed db
objects (statements, result sets, connections) not closed file descriptors, etc.
