Hi all, I run a cocoon webapp which is hosted on a shared Linux environnement and runs under tomcat 5.5.9. There are about 7 applications running under that tomcat instance (2 cocoon, at least 1 jsp, don't know for the others). My host provider complains that he tomcat uses a lot of memory and that he needs to restart it every 4 hours to release the memory. Tomcat runs as a daemon (started using jsvc) and with the following parameters:
jsvc.exec -user tomcat -cp ./bootstrap.jar -Djava.endorsed.dirs=../common/endorsed -java.awt.headless=true -Xmx500000000 -XX:MaxPermSize=300m -debug -outfile ../logs/catalina.out -errfile ../logs/catalina.err -verbose org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -security I'm really not sure where to start looking: memory leak due to bad programming in the webapp or bad tomcat configuration leading to memory leaks. I also noticed there are quiet a few links in google pointing to problems with Tomcat not releasing memory (objets not getting garbage-collected), although they are mostly related to Tomcat 4.x. What is the situation on with Tomcat 5.5.9 ? I'm looking for help on what to look for, what configuration parameters should be used in production environnement, how can I pinpoint this memory problem ?
