For update on the forum.. After days of research finally the reason for the memory leak seems to be a leak in the JDK version. Evidance to support the theory:
http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/misc.html#cpu http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4724129 Also: Segue load tests with the new JDK1.4.2_11 do not break the service.If I switch back to the earlier version jdk1.4.1_02 the service breaks even with a few refreshes of the page. The memory does go up while running the segue test but I haven't noticed it go beyound 100 MB.I ran a test with 10 users on localhost for 2.5 hours. Thanks Chuck for the pointer.I had read this earlier but downgraded to a lower version of the JDK instead of moving up.Today I upgraded to 1.4.2_11 and realised that there is no leak when I run the load tests. Thanks to all for your help.

You really need to get off that level ASAP. Use 1.4.2, which fixes many, many bugs compared to 1.4.0. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
