Re: Upgrading from Tomcat 7.0.8 to 7.0.10 and higher causes Old Generation memory problems

Just for completeness on anyone reading this... Setting development mode to false has vastly improved the performance, as is no doubt already known by most people! My Old Generation memory now cycles nicely, clearing out by 75% each time. I also added the "checkInterval" parameter (at anything gr

Bugger thanks. I looked at this but, when I did, I simply compared the two web.xml files between Tomcat-7.0.8 and Tomcat-7.0.10 to see if a specific setting for development mode was used differently, but the two files were exactly the same, with no development mode setting mentioned. Which means t

Ok thanks... so here's the trace of the 3 biggest org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper objects. I'm just showing the path of the objects that retain the biggest sizes at each nested level to save from overkill on detail. There are references to parent objects at some levels which show a lar

Right, I have taken a memory snapshot using YourKit of the system running Tomcat-7.0.10 after about 1 hour, when the Old Gen memory was beginning to reach its maximum. I am not completely sure what information is useful for you to know as I have not used YourKit before so I am working from the dem

Unfortunately the conf changes to fork the compilation of JSPs and the increased 'modificationTestInterval' value made no real improvement so I am continuing to work towards replacing the language text request scope variables with property files references. However, if this is a problem, this has

Good morning and thanks for the replies! Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, our bank determines who we must use as the PCI Auditor so our hands are tied with that one, but it does seem like they're just covering their backs by choosing the latest available version rather than actually determinin

Hi, I am in charge of running a Apache-2, Tomcat-7, Ubuntu-10.04 set up for which we have to be PCI Compliant. We recently upgraded to Apache-2.2.17 and Tomcat-7.0.8 (from Apache-2.0.x and Tomcat 5.0.28) in order to comply with the requirements of the PCI Compliance checks and ironed out any issue
