Its probably set in the jvm - the default heap size set is for 64 meg. This can be changed using the -Xmx parmeters in the initial call to the jvm. We set the max heap size for our tomcat to 128M using: "-Xmx128M"

Why is that it is using so much memory in heap. I found this by running jprobe memory debugger. I have just one application in the context of server.xml file and don't think the entire application gets loaded into memory. After doing a full garbage collection, the heap memory comes down to 11M. Is something going wrong or is it the way tomcat behaves? Hari
