Well, maybe you can help me to make an interpretation. I'm using Yourkit, and this this what I see. The most RAM is used by byte arrays. If I choose this entry in the list of classes, below you will see a list of objects. If you choose the first one and check the content (400kb), it is the image of a static HTML page.
I really don't know how to find out to which classes do these bytes belong to, or their relationship with the garbage collector, but I can see that they use a lot of RAM. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Thomas [mailto:ma...@apache.org] > Sent: Friday, November 12, 2010 01:38 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Tomcat 6.0.29 using more and more RAM until it collapses? > > On 12/11/2010 18:30, Brian wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > > > Besides using Tomcat to serve my app (which itself serves about > > 600,000 diferent URLs), I also use it to serve static pages (HTML > > pages stored in the hard disk). > > I don't know if Tomcat is caching my dinamically generated pages > > (maybe it is), but for now I would love to stop the cache that stores the static > ones. > > Those static pages are in their own WARs, so they have nothing to do > > with the java code in my app. > > Where do I configure Tomcat to stop caching the static pages in memory? > > This is definitely my problem, I can see clearly the pages in my > > memory snapshot, and when I let Google crawl my site with more speed, > > my site (and Tomcat itself, I guess) crashes sooner. > > You are missing the point.
