Lesee... 100 MB times 40 instances .. mm... carry the 7 ... hey, that's
4GB! Where have I heard that number before... hmm.. something about ...
right! The maximum process memory on a 32-bit OS!

Nevermind the fact that a 32-bit JVM can't allocate that much memory in
one huge chunk.

It looks like your requirements are outstripping your capabilities. If
you want to run all these instances on the same machine, you're going to
need a 64-bit OS.

Probably because it uses 1/40 of the memory that 40 of them require.

You should look at what is taking up so much memory.

Almost certainly not. It's probably not doing you any good, either,
since your application can't use it (only the server can, but maybe you
have Tomcat managing your connection pool or something).

Like what? An example would be enlightening.

I'm pretty sure that you just need more memory than you have. If you're
right, and each instance of this app takes ~100MB, then you simply
cannot deploy 40 of them on a single 32-bit machine.
