If tomcat is crashing because of "out of memory" it is a known problem with tomcat 4.0.1-4.0.3 as well as 3.3.x. The problem you are seeing is related to how jasper compiles the page. Jasper makes one huge service method, which causes several memory related problems. There is a new jasper called Jasper2 in 4.1.7 beta. Copy ant.jar, jasper-runtime.jar and jasper-compiler.jar into your tomcat/lib directory. See if that fixes your problems. If that isn't your problem, it may be your custom tag has a memory leak somewhere which only appears in certain conditions.
if that's the case, use OptimizeIt to profile your web app. http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.7-beta/RELEASE-NOTES peter Karthikeyan A wrote: > > Hi, > > I am working with tomcat 4.0.1 We have our own custom tag library.
