Dear Chuck, Actually, in such situations you get 'java.io.IOException: Too many open files' or 'java.net.SocketException: Too many open files'. Not an OutOfMemory error. Only if it's related to an application-initiated action, such as opening a stream. If FD exhaustion is detected during

Memory pool "Survivor space"

2008-11-30 Thread André Warnier
Hi. I am monitoring a Tomcat during startup, using jconsole. This Tomcat's JVM is started with the switches "-Xms200M -Xmx200M", and it starts a rather heavy webapp that just about occupies Tomcat 100% during 5 minutes whenever I start it. (*) In the "memory" tab of jconsole, I observe that o

When does Tomcat throw an OutOfMemory exception?

2008-11-30 Thread Karim Zaki
Greetings all, I would like someone to shed a bit of light on when exactly Tomcat throws an OutOfMemory exception. Is it when its physical memory usage (working set) reaches the maximum limit configured in the JVM startup parameters, or are other conditions that can cause this? I've noticed tha
