I'm running
tomcat 4.1 on Red Hat 7.2 with
java version "1.4.1_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_02-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_02-b06, mixed mode)from Sun. The box has one Gig of memory in it and Tomcat takes up all the available memory on the box until the point that is can no longer serve pages but never uses the one gig of swap available. I have added another gig of physical memory to all the servers so it's no longer a problem right now but I'm afraid as we add more sites it may fill up the 2 gigs and be a problem again. Where should I look to figure out why it is not using the available swap? Oh and other applications running on identical hardware with the OS installed from the same kickstart use swap just fine.
