With java 1.5.0_04, I think it's possible to force the gc to run manually.There is a class called Runtime, from which we can call the gc,instead of System.gc(). This ensures that the gc will run on programmer's wish. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
