increasing JVM heap space in Tomcat 6.0 (Windows XP)

2009-08-13 Thread Christoph Kukulies
I'm using the OpenCMS contentmanagement system under Tomcat 6.0. When 
I'm trying to use  a file upload widget (http-upload) I'm getting a java 
heap error (OutOfMemory) from the OpenCMS servlet.


I tried to start the Tomcat6 service under Windows XP then manually 
giving it the start parameters

-Xms64m -Xmx1024m, but I'm still getting the error.

It's only an 18MB file I want to upload using http protocol.

What JVM version are you using?

What *exact* Tomcat version are you using?

Have you verified that your heap settings are actually being used?  (BTW, it's 
usually better in a server environment to have the Xms and Xmx values the same 
- less heap thrashing.)

Are you really running out of memory?  The JVM throws an OOME for a variety of 
reasons, only one of which is heap exhaustion.

JConsole is a useful tool for monitoring a running JVM.

Tomcat 6.0.10
jre_1.5.0_06/client/jvm.dll

I terribly goofed, sorry to say. I tweaked the values on the wrong machine.
Then I found out when comparing my notebook with the server that on the 
server

the Apache Tomcat Program group was missing, but found
that executing
tomcat6w.exe  //ES/Tomcat6

invokes the configurator panel.

I changed it to 128M/128M now and my upload works. Sorry again.

You should probably upgrade to 6.0.20 as soon as you can.

Complementary question: what is the recommended JVM to use with Tomcat:
client/jvm.dll or server/jvm.dll?

Thanks

Server.  Note that some of Sun's Windows JRE downloads do not include a server 
JVM, but the JDK does.

Yes, I always download the JDK and use the server jvm in there. I don't
think the JRE download includes the server jvm anymore, at least not in the
few I downloaded lately.

 I don't think the JRE download includes the server jvm anymore,

As I recall, the 64-bit Windows JREs contain only the server JVM (feast or 
famine, it seems).
