It isn't Tomcat, and it isn't Tomcat on windows that is causing your
problem. I have a server, running NT 4 and has been running it for close to
2 months under moderate load, and haven't had any memory leaks. I would look
at your web applications and find the place where you are holding on to
memory. I guarantee that it is your application and not Tomcat.

Subject: Re: Tomcat memory-leak problem
I too have been having some problems with Tomcat + memory. I put it down to
me running win98 and win98 not properly being able to address memory over
128MB. I normally have dreamweaver, netbeans and tomcat running, and
reguarly run out of memory (I have 384MB Ram). I haven't noticed any
similar problems running tomcat on linux (with a lower spec machine).
Windows does have memory management issues however, and it might be the way
tomcat threads means it causes problems with memory on win32 platforms. I
downloaded Tweakall in the end, as this comes with a niffty utility which
can free leaked memory.

Subject: Tomcat memory-leak problem
Hi!
I'm using apache, tomcat jakarta 3.2.1, jdk1.2.2 on a linux 6.2 and a MS SQL
server on a Nt4 with sp 6a.
Having some trouble with memory-leak. After the server has been running for
a couple of days, it has eaten up all 512MB of RAM. It is a server with some
customers on and it handles about 1000 visitors a day. We use JSP pages and
servlets to show webpages. Servlets primary for showing images from database
or generating menues...
So... what shall i do? It doesnt help to restart tomcat. I need to reboot
the server and start tomcat all over before we can get in contact with the
sites again.
Thanks in adv.
