Hi All,

I am facing an Out of Memory Issue with my application. I am using Embedded 
Tomcat 6.0.18. I have a simple servlet deployed which does nothing but set the 
HTTPResponse and return it.

Now I have 2 testing clients

Client 1:

HTTPClient 3.1 with MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager with SSL 
maxConnections = 200
maxConnectionsPerHost=200

Client 2:

HTTPClient 4.1 in which I configured multiple threads  

                for (int i = 0; i < noofConnections; i++) { 
                Thread t = new Thread(my); 
                t.start(); 
            }


With every thread executing HTTPGet on the servlet. This too with SSL.


Now with client 1,my JVM crashes after just a few minutes. Running with 8gb 
heap space. 


I took a heap dump for 2gb heap space using Jmap and analyzed it with MAT. It 
seems that there were many instances of 
org.apache.catalina.session.StandardManager consuming almost 95% of heap space.

CPU utilization is only 13 -14% and I can see only 65 threads active with 
netstat.


With Client 2,everything looks fine. Though JVM crashes at 2gb,but at 8gb it 
works fine. Though CPU utilization is almost 90% and 100 simultaneous threads 
created for 100 simultaneous threads. 

Both my server and clients are on Linux 64 bit machines.

I believe that this is something related to the client 1 i.e. either the 
HTTPClient 3.1 or the MultiThreadedConnectionManager,but posting here if 
someone can assist me in what might be the root cause.
