Tomcat 6.0.20 zip (used service command to run as windows service) Window 2003 Server 2.0GB RAM (1.3GB available)
My problem: org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet "servlet name" threw exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space I've read many previous posts and online articles about increasing the memory settings for Tomcat. As it stands, I've modified the catalina.bat file and set the CATALINA_OPTS variable from what was nothing to the following: :doStop shift set ACTION=stop set CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m goto execCmd I have restarted Tomcat. 1. Was that the right way to increase the memory for Tomcat 6.0.20? 2. Do I monitor the log files to see if this setting was enough? I realize there could be many other things related to heap space errors. Leo Donahue
