TC memory consumption increases when -Xincgc is used?

[Eric Gilbertson]

Hello Tomcaters:

Has anyone encountered a problem with TC memory consumption growing
faster with incremental GC enabled? With the -Xincgc switch, memory consumption
not only grows faster on startup, but it never seems to go down significantly as it
does with normal GC. Under stress testing this results eventually in the dreaded
OutOfMemory error. The weird thing is that our other servers don't seem to exhibit
this behavior. Another contributing factor to the memory consumption is whether TC
is invoked from the command line, or whether it is started via an NT service. I do see
faster memory consumption when starting via the CL with -Xincgc, but the
OutOfMemory exception occurs only with incgc *and* service invocation. The service
invocation includes no other switches that aren't used in the CL version. I did see a post
in the archives regarding memory problems when TC is invoked via a service but there
was no confirmation that this was a known problem. Suggestions as to how to start TC
via a service without incurring increased memory consumption are appreciated.

The operation environment is TC 4.01 with NT 2000/XP with precompiled JSPs.

Sincerely,

Eric Gilbertson
