Appears I spoke to soon. While memory usage is much better during the application execution, it still eventually begins a steep climb in terms of memory consumption, even with setting the various memory parameters on the JVM. What is most baffling to me is that this behavior does not occur when Tomcat is not running as a service. Anyone have any clues??????

No more creeping memory loss, at least not over the past several hours. I set some limits on memory usage etc. Am now trying to determine what exactly, I have to pass as parameters to the tomcat.exe service installation tool. I feel like I am missing something obvious, when you install the Tomcat service with the provided tomcat.exe what happens to all the JVM parameters? Are they set in the registry? Environment, where? But, I can at last see daylight again! Thanks to all for your help!

It is simply run as a batch script, or as part of an install (you execute tomcat.exe once with the relevant parameters to install it) Pete "Robert Porter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/08/2003 18:01 Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" To: "'Tomcat Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: RE: Tomcat 4.1x running as NT Service Issue Found that while googling my issue, it looks very promising, but I need something we can include in a custom setup that will be run by users. Although that tool will help in testing! Seen anything like it for deploying webapps? -----Original Message----- From: Tim Funk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2003 11:52 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat 4.1x running as NT Service Issue If you need to run NT as a service, use this tool to set it up.
