Each instance gets a separate, 2GB heap space. > 2. or do they potentially share they same memory? Since Java 1.5, "shared archive" capability is available on Sun's JVM. This basically means that the core JVM stuff can be memory-mapped and thus shared between processes, so you actually get a benefit when you run multiple simultaneous JVMs. See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/relnotes/features.html#vm_classdatashare http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/vm/class-data-sharing.html These pages cover this capability if you re interested in reading all about it. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGt1nW9CaO5/Lv0PARAlFHAJ4q/MBMWrYMUBJTeu3/RPyzU1b1AQCfe8SJ AMWfHzrgP0dAKeifLPxQ4Bw= =5Dw/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
