Hi, all We have deployed a third party web application in tomcat which translates HTTP requests from web clients into CORBA commands. We are seeing large increases in memory which never seems to be released. The memory sizes are checked every day with the "ps -o time,etime,pcpu,pmem,vsize,rssize" command.
The third party suggests that the problems could be due to garbage collection configuration in tomcat and would like us first to consult with 'tomcat experts'. If you have expertise with tomcat and are reading this could you please confirm for us: 1. Is there any garbage collection configuration in tomcat? 2. If the answer to 1. is yes, is it possible that the garbage collection configuration in tomcat could be causing a large amount of memory never to be released? 3. Is it possible that the garbage collection configuration in the JVM could be causing a large amount of memory never to be released? The implementation details are Tru64 Unix, tomcat 5.0.19, SDK 1.4.1-1 (for Tru64 Unix from HP). We are aware of other memory leak issues reported in tomcat 5.0.19 and SDK 1.4.1-1 but we have been able to rule out these known problems as the cause of our memory leak. Thanks Kenny
