I have a problem when using Cocoon to aggregate large amounts of content
that is to be serialised as PDF.

I have a set of pipelines that build a XML document that contains a set of
xincludes which is then transformed using the xinclude transformer before
conversion into XSL-FO and final serialisation to PDF. Using all the
standard transformers - nothing extra, XML, XSLT, Xinclude but no XSP and
the like.

If I run this using Tomcat it works for small document sets (29) amounting
to 218KB of XML and 43KB of PDF.

If I run this using Tomcat for a large document set (1044) amounting to
3.5MB of XML and 2.7MB of PDF then I get OutOfMemoryError messages in the
logs (cocoon and tomcat) - see below.

If I install a full version of Jetty I get outOfMemory errors too.

However, if I run the same app within the version of Jetty that comes with
Cocoon there is no problem!!!!


*** Can anyone explain why the Jetty that comes with cocoon works while
Tomcat does not??? ****


I have include system config's and log extracts from both cocoon and tomcat
at the end of this e-mail.


I have tried all the various tricks with changing memory settings for JVM
like:

CATALINA_OPTS=" -Xms128m -Xmx128m "

But with no success. No out of memory errors, it just never finished after
20 minutes waiting! 

I have also ensured that I use the FOP tuning tips to ensure best recycling
of memory.
