The limit is a function of the OS and JVM you're using and anything else running on the box, not Tomcat itself. Windows normally gives each process a 2 GB virtual space to play in, and then scatters various dlls through it to guarantee not having contiguous space. Without going to great pains, the largest heap you can use on a Windows server is around 1.3 - 1.5 GB. If you set the -Xmx value to something that large, watch your paging rate carefully to make sure you don't start thrashing. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
