I am currently running under the following environment:
Red Hat 5.1
Apache 1.3.6 with SSL module
JServ 1.05
WebMacro
Blackdown 1.1.7 v1a
Pentium 166 96MB RAM 6.4GB HDD
When I start Apache up, about 18MB of memory is used. Then as I run
servlets (which I presume is then being loaded into memory), the memory
usage increases to about 50MB. Then as I recompile and reload the servlets,
the memory usage keeps on going up until its starts paging out to swap
disks. The paging activity becomes quite intense and it doesn't seem as
though any memory is being released.
I am assuming that this is because the Garbage Collector doesn't kick in.
Therefore the following 2 questions:
1. Since this would affect performance, should I be concerned, or is it
normal?
2. Is there a way to tell the Garbage Collector that it should start
operating when memory usage reaches 70 or 80 MB? I recall having read
somewhere that one can tell the JVM how much the upper memory limit should
be. I can't remember where I saw it.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
