Could you please provide a little more details, on what kind of program you are doing, how you are starting it right now, and how is tomcat involved?
generally -Xmx128m -Xmx256m, are parameters to java call, besides you can't have two different values for the same parameter! (I think the first one is ms, right?) java -Xms128m -Xmx256m -cp bla:blub:blib your.package.YourClass For tomcat you need to alter JAVA_OPTS in catalina.sh/bat to even those values: set JAVA_OPTS=-Dms128M -Dmx256M ... under windows and export JAVA_OPTS="-mx256M -ms128M ... under *nix. regards Leon On 1/26/06, Aparna Ramakrishnan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for the link. > When i start my program, the Runtime Maximum Heap Size is 66650112 bytes > ~=64MB.
