nb: no compression

nb: NIO connector is in use ; no APR (see stack trace for thread name)

Okay. Why context.xml, by the way?

~2GiB static file

That's ... interesting. What if you request the file more than once
via the default connector? I would have expected these code paths to
be relatively the same.

Can you generate a heap dump when the OOME occurs? Use the following
JVM startup options:

- -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
- -XX:HeapDumpPath=/path/to/heap-dump-file

If you generate a heap dump, are you able to navigate it? I've heard
that Eclipse MAT is good. I've mostly used YourKit and it's quite
good, able to pick-out the "big things" and help locate what kind of
object(s) is/are taking up all the space.

Reading the code for FileResource.getContent, it's clear that the
entire file is being loaded into memory, which obviously isn't going
to work, here. I'm wondering why that's happening since streaming is
the correct behavior when caching=false. Also strange is that
DefaultServlet will attempt to call FileResource.getContent() -- which
returns a byte[] -- and, if that returns null, it will call
FileResource.getInputStream which ... calls this.getContent. So this
looks like a special-case for FileResource just trying to implement
that interface in the simplest way possible.

FileResource seems to implement in-memory caching whether it's enabled
or not.

I can't understand why this doesn't fail for the other kind of
connector. Everything else is the same? You have two separate
connectors in one instance, or are you changing the connector between
tests?
