A couple of things to look at. First, if your making lots of calls to a servlet that creates a new session then you may be piling up tons of unused sessions. These will hang around until they expire (30 minutes, by default). Second, check the verbosity level for tc_log, servlet_log and jasper_log in your server.xml file. For production systems you'll probably want the verbosity set to WARNING or ERROR. At the default INFORMATION verbosity you'll get lots of stuff going to the log files. Tomcat doesn't write the log messages to disk right away, it keeps them in memory and a lower priority thread writes the messages to disk. Thus, on a really busy server generating lots of log messages you'll pile up log entries in memory waiting to be written. > -----Original Message----- > From: Wolle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2001 8:10 AM > To: tomcatDev; tomcatUser > Subject: heavy Traffic will rise Mem usage extremly > > > Hello, > i have testet some Servlets, and i'm prof that I give all the Readers > and Writes free, when a error occurs, so my Servlets are mostly memory > leak free. > So, when I make a big traffic to my servlets, the memory usage of > Tomcat will rise extremly, and after that it won't give these memory > free.And so the Server will become slow. > Is that a error in Tomcat, or must I set some enviroment in the Tomcat > server.xml or so ? > I have build some extra Commands in the Serverlet to call System.gc() or > System.runFinalization(), but no changes will occurse. > I have read about the VM that in some VM it's normal that they give not > all the memory free. > W.
