LinkedList size 1

[epsonic]

Hi,
I want to store a undefined number of Strings in a LinkedList.
Always After exceeding a specific size a "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" is trown.
I tought that one of the advantage using LIsts instead of arrays is because you don't have to specify the size.
Thx for any help.

THe number of objects in any collection wihtin Java is limited by the amount of memory available to the JVM.
Read

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html

specifically the -Xms and -Xmx options.

You don't have to specify the size, but if you store more objects than the capacity of JVM, it crashes.

Cheers,

... with a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError no less.

Like Dian says, you don't need to specify a size, but then you are operating with the JVM's defaults for these parameters.

Tim, is it possible to adjust those parameters? Or is it a dynamic thing depending on your system?

As far I now the default value of JVM heap size is 64MB.
java -Xmx128M should be enough for my app.
Thanx

Yeah, like in my original reply above ... -Xms and -Xmx are used to set initial and maximum memory footprints respectively.

Sorry, I missed that part when I read it. Thanks for the info.
