Can a separate web application have a separate memory pool

[Josh Gooding <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hey guys,

In .net can you run your application in a shared pool or it's own pool on
the IIS server, so it doesn't bring down the entire server in the event of
a OOM error.  Does Tomcat allow you to do this as well?  So you can
basically segregate each application to it's own pool of memory in the
server.  I updated the servers at work to 6.0.35.  It runs SOOO much faster
and better, but there is still an application that is doing something funky
and causing OOM's and that halt's the entire server.  I DID set the initial
memory pool to 512 and it's max pool to 1532 (1.5GB) but this application
(yes while poorly written and horribly outdated) is crashing the entire
server.

Just run the broken app in a separate Tomcat instance.
