Resurrecting an old thread: someone asked a new question today which reminded me of this one, so I thought I'd reply with a potential solution. If you set the cachingAllowed attribute on your <Context> element to "false", will this meet your needs? I believe this will disable caching and therefore eliminate the memory concerns you have. Today's question was about using SoftReference objects for caching, to allow the GC to trigger a cache flush in the event of a memory demand. You may want to watch the list and/or Tomcat's bugzilla for activity regarding that request. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrToOoACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBXJgCff3vh/D+UMXVs7liyGpbvZalJ o0UAniCgVarOEkw+6EfKhK5QV6oyGNcC =gu8O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
