Tomcat 5.0.28 gives the following error sporadically but usually after only a few hours of operation:
type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception root cause java.lang.OutOfMemoryError note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.0.28 logs. I realize this error message could mean a number of things (and I don't have much further info at this time) but I'd appreciate any ideas on where to investigate from here? The code and garbage collecting? The hardware on the physical server? Some tomcat settings? Would our transition to Tomcat 5 affect the system? Other Notes: - We've developed a rather complex portal application using Struts 1.1. - It's run flawlessly in our development and Staging environments. - Deployment to our production server has proven difficult as a number of issues have surfaced but we've been able to fix most of them until this one today. - Our production Tomcat server also supports 3 other portal applications. - I've been told that the server hardware is not lacking in memory or processing power. Again, any brainstorms or directions for further investigation would be helpful... and I could probably find more information if that would be useful in a diagnosis. Thanks Brian
