Hi, I have a struts application(1.1) using Eclipse and Exadel Studio with tomcat 5.5.9 using Jave 5.0
I have to deal with a huge String in memory, about 5-6M and every time I run my web application, I get java.OutOfMemoryError: java heap space...always at the same place(I fill a StringBuilder with the main String + other strings so I am effectively dealing with 2 huge strings at that point). When I run my application with a smaller string, it works fine so I checked for potential memory leak or bust but it seems to run just the minimum strings and stringbuilder object the application requires and all the objects should be destroyed properly. I checked the web and all I could find was to try raising the heap space exept that java -server -Xmx512m doesn't see any server and it doesn't seem to be a good idea to raise the heap stack anyway but I saw a post saying that Java 5.0 was using a proper heap size(1G although I don't have 1G RAM, I suppose it uses what it can.) I always thought that if there wasn't enough space in memory, applications would use the HD as memory slowing down the application but at least it wouldn't explode. Any idea how my problem could be solved? Are there any memory obscure restrictions to String and StringBuilder I should know that books doesn't say? I just can't see how 2 5M String in memory could be that much of a problem in 2005.
