Sounds like a bandwidth/throughput problem if you are concerned with the connector compression attribute. You may want to try some performance tuning with the throughput garbage collector.
Assuming your problem is an OutOfMemory Error and at least Java 1.4.1, try the following VM settings -Xmn=1024m -Xmx=1024m -XX:+AggressiveHeap -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:MaxPermSize=128m Below is reference documentation. http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/1.4.2_whitepaper.html If you still have memory problems, try a memory profiler like Jprofiler to detect memory leaks as well as CPU issues. http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/jprofiler/overview.html It would be helpful if you posted any errors in the log files when you incur the issue. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006 1:33 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Question about the "compress" setting MIME-Version: 1.0 We currently have an app in prod using the original servlet filer described at http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/11/19/filters.html?page=3 , and I know from the comments to the article in the link that there may be some issues with it. My question is; how does the built-in tomcat implementation, which is activated by the compress="true" attribute on the default http1.1 connector improve on the servlet filter mentioned above. For context, I should mention that we're running on Windows 2003 server, sp1 using Apache Tomcat/5.0.28 on on dual Intel Xeon processor with 4Gb of RAM. Under various memory settings ranging from giving the heap from any interval of 800 - 1500 MB of heap space, the Tomcat server will die more or less silently under even moderate load (heavy load kills it almost immediately). Any help would be appreciated, and as I've mentioned (username jmonstad) on the IRC channel, I may be willing to entertain engagements from local to Minneapolis, US gurus for $'s --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
