Hi OP, They probably mean what they say ;) See the jdk javadocs for the System/Runtime classes.
The Free Memory stat often causes confusion initially. It's the free memory in the block of RAM currently assigned to the JVM. So, it looks like at startup Tomcat is assigned 8Mb under your JVM on Win95. The max the JVM is set to use is 64Mb, meaning you really had ~58Mb free at the time of the snapshot.
How much physical memory do you have in the box? You can tweak the maximum available memory using JAVA_OPTS http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/memory.html#adjust HTH, Jon Propes, Barry L wrote:
MB???? Not GB? How are you even running Win 95 with 63.56MB? That's not enough swap space for anything is it? -----Original Message----- From: Gamigin Gamigin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 22, 2006 5:13 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Tomcat Memory Status? I've been having OutOfMemory problems and I've been watching the "Server Status" section under Tomcat Manager. Immediately after starting Tomcat (with my main application undeployed) I see: Free memory: 2.17 MB Total memory: 5.84 MB Max memory: 63.56 MB Can anyone explain what these numbers mean? I can't find any explanation in the Tomcat documentation. What is the difference between Total memory and Max memory? Free memory is a lot lower than expected for just starting the server. I can't only have 2MB available after starting the server and not even running my application. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
