I have a similar problem which I gave up trying to diagnose any further as nobody else seemed to have the problem. I'm using Tomcat 5.0.28 and JVM 1.4.2_10 under RedHat 8, 9 and CentOS 4.2 with 1GB RAM. I don't explicitly set any JVM heap parameters.
I have profiled the application using JProfiler and it does not show a leak. It shows the classic saw tooth shape where the heap grows to some limit and then gets garbage collected. Now the interesting thing. The Linux application, as reported by top, grows until all RAM and swap are exhausted but the JVM never reports an out of memory exception. I know there are issues with multi threaded applications and the use of top but, from the Linux kernels point of view, something has used all the memory. Profiling that very same instance of the application shows that all is well with the heap. All I do now is bounce Tomcat every 24 hours as seems to be the general opinion on the list. I am hoping that 5.5 will sort this out but I can't move up just yet. Just my tuppence worth. On 3/7/06, Tim Lucia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You don't *have* to make it serializable.
