oom exceptions on os x

[Brian Moseley <bc...@osafoundation.org>]

i'm experimenting with the bdb persistence manager and am running into 
an issue where many of my unit tests throw OOM exceptions.

i'm running on os x with java 1.4.2 and je 2.0.83. i see in the release 
notes (<http://www.sleepycat.com/je_update/2.0.83/relnote.2.0.83.html>) 
that i need to specifically set the je.maxMemory property in the 
je.properties file.

i further read in the je docs that je.properties goes in the 
"environment home" dir, so i created je.properties with 
"je.maxMemory=268435456" and put copies into 
<repository>/workspaces/homedir and <repository>/version.

having done these things, my unit tests still fail with the same number 
of OOMs. i must be missing something, but i can't figure out what it 
might be. any suggestions?

thanks!

hm, putting je.properteis in those dirs didn't seem to help. i'll follow 
up on the je list and let you know what i learn. thanks!

ah... i thought from reading the bdb pm that the env home 
dir was the parent of the db dir. i'll give this a shot, 
thanks :)

the correct "environment home" directory would be

<repository>/workspaces/<workspace>/db   (for the individual workspaces)
<repository>/version/db   (for the version store)
