I faced the same problem once and solved it by closing resultsets, statments, setting them to null and forcing garbage colletor from inside my application.
try speading out "System.gc();" in estrategic points of your application. -----Mensagem original----- De: Viks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviada em: sexta-feira, 28 de julho de 2006 08:33 Para: users@tomcat.apache.org Assunto: Out Of Memory - String Operation Hi, My app is running out of app. Code does a lot of string opeartion.It involves fetching records from DB Initially i was using string objects- Program used to finish in about 40-45 min with ~95 cpu usage We did some optimization on the code like changing the query from String to StringBuffer. This has improved the execution time and cpu usage. For 60k records the prog ran fine ....execution time improved from 30 mins to around 4 min and cpu usage from 95 % to 15%. For around 100k records my apps goes down on memory. Wondering if the app is able to sustain on String Obj why it is going down with StringBuffer Objects.
