Actually, the java process is only taking 285MB of physical memory. The
process has allocated just under 1GB of memory, but is not using it at
all (since virtual - resident cannot possibly fit into your 108k of used
swap, you can tell that nothing has been swapped-out).

Some other process has the rest of your 2GB physical memory tied up. top
even tells you that your java process is only taking up 14% of your
memory. What's the problem?

How many connections do you have configured? If you were using one
connection before, and now you're pooling connections, then you probably
are using /more/ memory than before.

Maybe, maybe not. Does your application eventually crash? If so, how? If
you turn off the scheduler, does the memory problem go away? What does
Java report as the free/total/ma heap values (hint: look at the
java.lang.Runtime class).

So, you are experiencing an OOM before an entire day goes by? Wow. I've
never heard of rolling reboots on non-MS-Windows machines. ;)

You have received many, /many/ suggestions from other posters as well as
myself. You have followed none of them. We ask you to provide more
information and you do not. Instead, you notify us that you are trying
some other strategy (switching JVM version, etc.). Finally, you changed
your PermGen heap allocation and everything was working again.

Are you saying that now you are having problems again? Or, are you
simply worried about the amount of memory taken by your application?
Java applications simply take up a lot of memory. Complex applications
take up a lot of memory. Complex Java applications take even /more/
memory. Webapps count as complex applications. Maybe you just need a
bunch of RAM to run your application. Have you considered that?
