I have been trying to find the source of a memory leak in a fairly large set of
servlets running on
Tomcat 4.1.18 on JDK 1.4.2_02
I am using optimizeIt to try and track it down, but I have run into an interesting problem. The
java heap size in optimize it is running very steady at 58,980K, and doesn't seem to ever go above this. However, the java.exe process (on Windows XP) is slowly yet surely creeping up, until I run out of memory, then it crashes the java process. The java.exe process is currently using 416,488K, so it is a fairly significant gap between the two sets of numbers.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
