Tomcat consumes much memory when web.xml size grows

[unnikrishnans <un...@gmail.com>]

I have one war file having size 140MB and has been deployed in tomcat 5 and
runs smothly. This war contains files from 20 different modules. So i
planned to split war in to multiple jar file in the following manner. 

one main.war file contains common classes,images,stylesheets,common jsp
files and web.xml . 

seperate module jar files with following . 

  


                        
 java classes of the particular module 

                        
 pre-compiled Jsp files of the module jsp.( Since jsp's are pre compiled
these entries will go to web.xml)  

                       

            


 main.war will be having servlets entries of all the pre-compiled jsp's. 
The count comes around 6000. All these module jar files are put in to
shared/lib. while starting tomcat , it is found that it is taking 200MB more
memory than the previous one.It seems that when the number of servlet
entries in web.xml is more, it consumes much memory. Is there any way to
invoke the pre-compiled Jsp files with out having entry in web.xml file. 

Any help is appreciated.

 thanks & regards

Try putting those jars in the lib folder of the WAR
