I have the same problem. I use Eclipse 3.3 and tomcat 5.5.25. Eclipse is set to "Build Automatically". When I modified the code within Eclipse, it will recompile and reload the tomcat context and the memory problem occurs here every time.
I put tomcat <context/> in ${catalina.home}/conf/Catalina/localhost/appName.xml. It runs on localhost and there is only one webapp. Eclipse.ini **** -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 512M -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Xms512M -Xmx1024M **** appName.log **** 13/12/2007 14:14:30 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext reload INFO: Reloading this Context has started 13/12/2007 14:14:32 org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader validateJarFile Exception in thread "Timer-0" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLogger(LogManager.java:179) at org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:94) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.getLogger(Log4JLogger.java:229) ... ... **** Sometimes it reports Java OutOfMemory exception (java heap Space). I can't figure out whose problem it is, Eclipse? tomcat, or the code.
