That makes sense. Now if only it was smart enough to clean itself out BEFORE issuing "500 null" and OutOfMemory responses ;) Then I'd really be happy!

Just because you're not using the memory, it doesn't mean that Java will free it up immediately. Since Garbage Collection is an expensive CPU operation, it tries to do the GC as infrequently as possible by default. You can think of Java and its Garbage Collection sort of like the Windows Recycling Bin. Just because you delete a file and put it in the Recycling Bin, it doesn't actually free up disk space right away. The file is in the Recycling Bin and still takes up disk space. Windows will eventually remove the files and reclaim the disk space when it needs to based upon your Recycling Bin settings. -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295067 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
