Sounds like you actually need to read up on JVM heap usage; Tomcat doesn't do its own management. This is a reasonable introduction: http://java.sun.com/products/hotspot/docs/whitepaper/Java_HotSpot_WP_Fin al_4_30_01.html Look at the section on Garbage Collection under HotSpot VM Architecture. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
