Martin --

How do I tell when the memory allocation happens?  what do I look for in the
logfiles?  I sent the output that was put into the catalina.out file with
the original post -- there is nothing prior to that as far as errors in
processing in the catalina.out file.

thanks,
Kim :-)

Good Morning Darryl-

make certain your HW is rock solid
then I would inquire
When does the memory allocation happen (e.g. at Tomcat startup. at webapp
init, when processing big and bulky PDF's)
check the logs at $TOMCAT_HOME/logs
If its tomcat crashing (misconfigured server.xml or JVM bug check
jakarta_service_YYYYMMDD.log)
If its a genuine error (thrown to stderr) look at stderr_YYYYMMDD.log
If its webapp specific check the stdout_YYYYMMDD.log AND/OR catalina.out
