We had thousands of problems with Sun JDK that is why we switched to IBM JDK who manage GC in a great manner.
You see the progress of the memory going down but it recover every single bit. Sun jdk always recover but there is some remaining memory that he do not release. -----Original Message----- From: Rainer Jung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 2:06 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: How stable is tomcat I also know a couple of instances which ran under high load for a couple of months. Usually though the frequency for changes in the apps are higher than that. Be careful: I would avoid hot deployment in critical production. Also: It's not totally unusual for apps to have memory leaks. So minotor your memory usage in the first weeks to check, if it gets stable.
