What makes you think the GC should run? Are you out of memory? The GC will not run in many situations unless it has a need to.

Hello! Now I am using the jconsole to monitor the heap memory usage of the tomcat 5.5. I've constructed a testbed to test the performance of the applications running on the tomcat. However, the jconsole shows that the "MarkSweepCompact" Garbage Collector never does its job. The only two ways to make this garbage collector to perform GC are: <1> I push the button "perform GC" shown on the "Memory tab" of the jconsole <2> I insert the code "System.gc()" into the servlets. I think both of these two ways are not good, and this garbage collector should perform GC automatically (in my opinion). I just wonder when or under which conditions the "MarkSweepCompact" Garbage Collector would perform GC. Or actually there is something wrong with my configuration so it doesn't perform GC?
