I can't say what the cause for the out of memory error is, but if you are writing in Java (JSP or servlet), you can try and check the memory status on your computer. This is done by: Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); long mem = rt.totalMemory(); long freemem = rt.freeMemory(); The first line gives you a runtime environment, the second one gives you the amount of memory the JAVA Runtime Environment (JRE) currently possesses, and the third line gives you the amount of available memory. This should help you debug and find the mischievous code. 2. In order to launch the JRE with more memory, you can set the JAVA_OPTS environment variable, which Catalina uses, in the following manner: JAVA_OPTS="-ms10M -mx512M" -ms sets the minimum amount of memory for the JRE, in this case it's set to 10MB. -mx sets the maximum amount of memory (I think the default is 64MB, which should be quite a lot, I don't know why your program runs out of memory). The place where you set the JAVA_OPTS depends on your platform and installation. All I can tell you is that if you installed Tomcat with RPM on linux, then you best add this line to the file /etc/init.d/tomcat/tomcat4.conf . As for other installations, check to see where the catalina.bat or catalina.sh file is, usually this is the place to update. 3. Finally (sorry for the lengthy answer), you can add a try catch around your code. Be aware, however that your catch should catch "Error" since OutOfMemoryError doesn't extend Exception, so you should do something like this: try { code... } catch (Exception e) { } cacth (Error e) { } Oz. # Lalit Nagpal # To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <lalit_tomcat@ cc: yahoo.com> Subject: Out of Memory Error - plz help 06/04/2002 07:37 AM Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" hello friends, I get this wierd error "Out of Memory --- No Stack Trace".
