Tomcat5.exe increasing memory allocation
Hi,
I am running Tomcat 5.0.28 in a production environment.
It has the default settings you get from the initial installation.
The Tomcat5.exe process allocates 250 MB memory right now and it is increasing from day to day.
What is the reason?
How can I stop the increase of memory allocation? I don’t want to restart tomcat each time.
I have many concurrent users using the system.
Thank
Stefano

Almost certainly: the webapp you are running has one or more memory leaks. There are users on this list running Tomcats for months on end with heavy load, no restarts and no increase in memory usage, so it's unlikely to be Tomcat itself.

Get whoever created the webapp to find and fix the memory leak(s).
