Hi, We are running an application on Tomcat 5.0.28 with Java 1.4.2. The usage of the application is very cyclical. It is used heavily during the day, and lightly at night. During peak daytime hours, a full garbage collection takes less than 2 seconds, which is fine. However, after a long period of inactivity in the evening, a full garbage collection will be triggered and take a very long time. Sometimes over a minute!
Is there any way to avoid this long garbage collection? Why does it take so long? (Maybe because it is filling up with many small objects over time rather than a few larger objects?) Thanks for your help. -Bill p.s. Upgrading to a newer version of Tomcat or Java is unfortunately not an option at this point. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Very-Long-Full-GC-after-Inactivity-tf4589459.html#a13100609 Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
