Is their any built in memory usage limitation for
Tomcat 5? For example, we can add a JAVA_OPTS and specify -Xms and -Xmx to tell the JVM the maximum memory space that can be used. But if I have 8 GB RAM in my server and I tell Xms to be 4 GB and Xmx to be 8 GB to Tomcat 5, will it be able to utilize 8 GB memory if required? Is there a limitation around it for Tomcat 5 (like maximum 2 GB will be used)? And for Tomcat 6? I tried to find the answer in tomcat documentation without success.
Your comments will be appreciated.
