Hi all Where would you recommend to use System.gc() in the context of JSP pages ? I guess it would be useless to intercept every single request and hint the system for garbage collection on each request ?
(Now I quote) "Also, before an OutOfMemory is thrown, the Garbage collector is guarenteed to run, meaning that you really are using all of your memory. I would look at what you are doing in your code - I have servlets that run for weeks without eating up any significant portion of memory" I do have many times OutOfMemory exceptions thrown, although we're not doing *that* much.... It happens quite randomly so it's very difficult to isolate the problem. Moreover, it even happens when fetching HTML pages from Tomcat, without using much JSP... I'd like to find a place to catch that error to take action (like restarting Tomcat) but the only way we have found is to monitor the server and automatically restart it when it fails to respond. Any guidance to solve the problem would be appreciated ;-) Thanks Denis Balazuc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yoav Shapira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 03:07 PM Subject: Re: Known Memory clean-up issues? > Howdy, > > > Any harm in forcing garbage collection to run? > > You cannot force garbage collection to run, only suggest it to the > JVM via methods like System.gc().
