I am not on the developer team. But spent quite a lot of hours (days) latelly with figuring out why my copy of tomcat (4.1.29) leaks memory. The information bellow is based on the info from the dev mailing list + a thread on this mailing list with subject "Tomcat Tuning Memory leak" from last couple of days (weeks). I am still testing 4.1.27 and all seems fine so far. Re 5.0.18: thats a revision where the fix was commited - please check the dev mailing list with subject "Found it - WAS: Memory leak" and "RE: [5.0.18] Build available".

Hope this helps,

David

This is very interesting to hear. I can believe it too...we lose
between 400K and 5MB per request and Tomcat 5.0.16 bombs out at 155.

We have invested in JProfiler now to see why but your comment is
curious. Are you on the development team? When will 5.0.18 become
stable...does not seem to be a binary download yet

Cheers ADC

If you use tomcat 5.0.x upgrade to 5.0.18. If you use 4.1.x downgrade to 4.1.27. There is a significant memory leak in tomcat in 5.0.16, 4.1.28(29).

Hope this helps,

Check session-timeout in web.xml. -1 is never timeout <session-timeout>-1</session-timeout>

Howdy,



root cause

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError


It happens When the corresponding request returns more than

Perhaps you should allocate your JVM more memory, by using the
Java


-Xmx



parameter.


I did it and I gave 512 Mb.

It works better but why are the 2000 objects are not garbaged after
 each request ?








Alternatively, consider a system design that retrieves a



smaller, fixed number of rows instead of "20000-30000" and lets
the

scroll, say 100 rows at a time.
