Tomcat Memory usage(Urgent!)

Hello all

Here is part of top output. Is it usual that java processes eat all of memory? ? At now there are 50 java processes started that running tomcat and each of them uses 59M memory. There is running apache server with tomcat 4 and mysql. OS is Redhat7.2 x86 . JDK 1.4 is installed. 

Thx

RE: Tomcat Memory usage(Urgent!)

Posted by Manish Bhatnagar <ma...@accord-soft.com>.
We faced this problem some time back. The memory usage
seemed to increase to the point where no other application
could be started. Many times we had to restart the NT
machine itself. We did a thorough code-review and fixed the
leaks. But even after that the Tomcat memory usage kept on
increasing, although it came down, all of a sudden, to a
very low value (600K). So garbage collection is being done
more frequently, I would say. When there are more users
connected to the Web server and accessing the Servlets/JSPs,
the memory usage keeps on increasing... just to give
numbers... we accessed our Web application using 50+
instances of browsers (IE, Netscape) and the memory shot to
200M. After some time (not immediately) when we stopped
accessing the Web server it came down to 24M. You can find
more pointers on JDC at http://java.sun.com. I remember
discussing this topic there.
Thanks

within your program you might want to check out

Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime;
runtime.freeMemory() vs
runtime.totalMemory()

This will let you know what it's really using..
But as top says it's only 59M then I'd be looking at
other processes in your ps list

Hope this helps

hi all ,

Well how is possible to give back memory ? Because after 2 days the

Each of these processes correlates to a /thread/. The processes are sharing
memory for the most part - something that ps or top don't make clear.
