hello

after to test my project in tomcat 5.5.23 and jdk 5 update 12
in network(intranet-only until now with 2 clients) i see that this is fast, after of a some time i can see a wonderful exception
related with java heap exception thrown by the tomcat

after to search in google, i found the solution for windows
(server works with windows XP SP2) related to give some values
for memory ram values to the tomcat5w.exe

http://computerlabsolutions.com/supp...hp#performance
i only did the second step

according to this


Click on the Java tab, and enter 128 in the Initial Memory Pool, and 350 or 400 in the Maximum Memory Pool.Leave the other field blank.


so my values are
128 in the Initial Memory Pool
400mb Maximum Memory Pool

the point is that the server is a intel dual core with 3ghz for each , and has DDR2 512 MB of ram

ok, its works, the point is that after to restart the server, the system is fast again,
but then again after of some time the performance go to very slow

if i do ctrl+ alt+ del to see the performance of the pc related with the ram
i taked a picture when start the wierd performance
my ram go to 645MB and swap 46200KB

i thought if i stop to use the system/application(5 minutes),
i can give the chance to the java or tomcat to get and free
some resources

well not the ram go to 640MB and swap to 45276KB

of course if i shutdown my tomcat
i have now these values
RAM 319MB and swap 44564KB

is normal this?,
i dont think so
some important suggestion/advice by our members??

BTW: i am using pool connections related with the db area


thanks so much for advanced

Is the application possibly leaking memory by not making objects eligible for garbage collection?
