That won't help if you're running out of PermGen space. > In my installation I do not have a catalina.bat file at all! For some inexplicable reason, the .exe distribution does not include the scripts, but the .zip one does. Regardless, since you're running Tomcat as a service, you can adjust the heap sizes and other JVM parameters with the tomcat5w.exe program. Here's a posting from earlier today about the same problem: This is a common problem, so reading the FAQ: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Memory is always a good idea, as would searching the archives: http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user You may have a memory leak in your applications that's leaving class references lying around, preventing them from being discarded via garbage collection. Alternatively, if you really are running out of PermGen space, you'll have to increase it, which of course takes away from the real memory available for the rest of the heap. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
