pro_jsp thread: Excessively high memory usage by Tomcat on NT


Message #1 by "Manish Bhatnagar" <manish@a...> on Wed, 23 Jan 2002 07:19:41
We are facing the problem of excessive memory usage by our servlets (that
call JNI functions). The memory usage seems to touch 50+ MB in 2000 Server
but it drops down to 30 MB soon. But, this does not happen in NT. The
memory keeps on increasing and there is a point in time when Tomcat
occupies *all* the available memory.
We are taking care of *garbage collecting* the objects frequently(by
calling Runtime.gc()). Is there any other way by which we can have some
kind of control over the usage of memory?
Do we have to install a patch for NT (if something like this is available)?

NT Server:
----------
PIII 500 MHz, 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD

2000 Server:
------------
PIII 700 MHz, 128MB RAM, 20GB HDD

Tomcat:
-------
Version 3.2.1

JDK:
----
Sun's JDK 1.3

Any suggestions, pointers are appreciated.
Thanks
Manish
