First thing I would do is try to isolate what is causing the memory leak. Do _all_ servlets cause slow leaking over time, indicating a Webware bug? Or only certain servlets, perhaps ones that use a particular module or feature? So I would set up a test server that is a replica of your production server, and write a script to hit a particular servlet over and over with urllib.urlopen(). Monitor the memory usage, and compare with the results of hitting some other servlet. A short-term solution would be to set up a cron job to restart your appserver on some regular interval (once a day, once a week, or whatever) at whatever time of day you have the least activity. - Geoff _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
