Hello Seth! SN> All,
SN> OS: Sparc-Solaris 9 SN> JDK: 1.4.0_02 SN> Tomcat: 4.1.27 SN> Problem: SN> I start tomcat and it takes up about 45MB of RAM. I wrote a script to email me every ten minutes the amount of memory it's taking up. The results are showing me that it gains about 1MB every 10 SN> minutes or so (on average). If I let it go, it will grow until it runs out of memory. You really get an OutOfMemoryException? I would expect that memory consumption would grow and grow untill it reaches something near the allowed maximum and then garbage collection would break in and free some of already allocated memory. (Of couse it won't give it back to the OS, but it will be free for processing further requests by Tomcat itself) In other words I would expect that memory consumption would stabilize somewhere near the allowed maximum. Does this happen? Or do Tomcat threads really die with an OutOfMemoryException?
