This faq http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/memory.html covers a few things about memory issues.
It is best to fine tune the application itself to see if there's anything in the application that is over-using the memory, before attempting memory adjustments. Also the performance.pdf here: http://tomcat.apache.org/articles/ , discusses a few issues. To improve performance you could check a few things in your app: 1) Are you using connection pooling, batch updates, deletes, inserts, rowsets, prepared statements, closing them properly. 2) Circular object creation (sometimes infinite). 3) Storing large objects in memory when you could be reading them from the DB etc -Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
