My guess is the memory. I haven't been following your previous posts so I don't know how memory intensive your application is, or how much traffic you are getting, but 256 MB seems like too little, especially since Tomcat is only going to get a small portion of it. What are your JVM -Xmx settings at? I like at least 512 MB total, and at least 256MB of that dedicated to Tomcat. I think some applications would want more than that also, with lots of traffic.
At least on NetWare when you are almost out of memory, if the Garbage Collector kicks in at just the wrong time and doesn't have enough heap to continue, you will hang, or at least be very slow. This is probably similar on other Operating Systems, since the underlying garbage collection code is the same (well, I'm being very general here of course, since there are differences between jvm versions as well). So yes, I think that on the beefier server you might get better results.

Code has been commented, logged, oracle permissions all tickety boo, no locks. It really is intermittent, and in my opinion seems to be somewhat related to network traffic. I talked to one of the tech guys and he seemed to think I was nuts. It never happens at night or on the weekends when I am pretty much the only one on the network. Does that sound possible to any one with more experience than I? Although we moved it to the live server we had some install problems there and so I am still running off my dev machine. It is just a regular P4 with about 1600mhz and 256 ram. Do you think the freezing will cease when running off the server? And on the other subject: have any of you tried other app servers out there? Do you have any opinions? Tomcat seems to be the industry standard but if I can't resolve this freezing issue I might get some pressure to try some different technology. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
