Hello Andre, thx for your explanations and the hint with the "jconsole" tool. I am already monitoring with it ...
@Chuck: Thank you for your commt. It would be important to be able to plan the memory consumption of an application in productive environment. Therefore I am trying to analyze the consumption in the testing environment as detailed as possible to make a "vague" assumption of the mem-requirements in productive environment.

But don't expect anything simple. Tomcat is a Java application. Java uses a lot of memory. That's a fact of life, better get used to it. The "heap" memory that you configured earlier, is only part of the memory used by Java and Java applications. Also, depending on the machine and the OS, I am never quite sure whether "128M" means bytes or words.. Think of it this way : Java is a Virtual Machine, running under your OS. It insulates the Java applications from the underlying OS and hardware. That is why Java applications are multi-platform : they carry their own platform with them. The price you pay for that is memory. Another thing : under Windows and with the standard installation as a Service, don't get fooled by the name "tomcat.exe". That is only a "wrapper" program to make it run as a Windows Service. Underneath, it really starts the Java Virtual Machine (java), and the JVM then starts the application (Tomcat). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
