out of memory error

[bthale]

I am starting a new project and have never had a problem running apps with Tomcat. This new project runs out of memory when doing a search for flights. I tried using
-Xmx256m and -Xmx512m at command line but this did'nt help. Also while watching the memory in Perfmon (NT), it never went aboce 270 M, and I have 515 M installed.

Anyone help?

Hmm, also what version Tomcat are you using (I've found 4.05 leaks memory like a holed bucket).

Maybe this "new project" is not releasing memory when its finished with it, whos code is it, yours?

I am having a similar problem running Tomcat 5 with a servlet that needs a lot of memory. Setting -Xmx###m in the Tomcat startup script doesn't help - the error occurs when Win Task Manager shows java reaching a memory allocation way below my Xmx setting. I haven't had problems running servlets with smaller memory needs.

The "root cause" is a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError and the stack trace dump is:
