Constant memory usage as viewed by top or other host operating system commands is normal. The sun 1.4.1 JVM doesn't seem to shrink it's memory usage. If you've ever used that much memory, it won't be freed just because you no longer use it all. I believe the memory limits are limits that apply to java objects, not to the overhead of the VM, so the actual memory allocated from the operating system is always more than what is available to your program and can be more than the memory limit. I'm only guessing here though. I would use a network packet sniffer and see if you can isloate what is going on at the network level. Ethereal is my favourite. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
