I've replied to this further down the thread but as an aside there are ways to bump up the max process size to 3G (with kernel shenanigans) but 32 bit java is fixed at 2G. The figure 1850MB doesnt sounds quite right but it's probably related to the default max process size of 2G and the java process will be bigger than the heap so you won't quite get the full 2G
-----Original Message----- From: Richey, Ross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 8:45 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Tomcat Running out of Memory My tomcat process runs out of memory (unless rebooted) approximately every three days. Vital Statistics: -Our consultant-designed website consists of approximately 5000 JSP pages. None of these pages pull from a backend, the java was merely used to provide a persistent border. -Max heap size is set to 1850 megs, (which from what I understand is the max on a 32-bit system). -The server has 4 gigs of total RAM. -JDK 1.4 -Tomcat 5.0.18 -Redhat 7.3 I've done some searches on Google and in the archives and I can't seem to find any way to turn up the frequency of the garbage collection. Everything seems to indicate that once a JSP is loaded into memory it stays there. Is there some way to increase the max heap size? Or some way to increase the frequency of garbage collection? Or any other way to slow down the memory usage?
