Hi,

I am new to Tomcat. I have an enterprise application (which was
developed by an external vendor and for which we have no source code)
that is running on the followng:

1. Apache Tomcat 4.1.31
2. J2SDK1.4.2_11
3. Windows 2003 OS SP1.

The hardware is as follows:
HP 2-CPU machine
2 GB Memory

The database used is SQL-Server 2000 SP4. 

The setup is configured so that Tomcat uses maximum 750 MB of RAM. The
problem is that the memory used by Tomcat continues to increase until it
has no memory to find and then it crashes. The only way to recover is to
re-start the tomcat server.

I need help in finding out why this happens ? Are there any known issues
in tomcat 4.1.31 ? Is the Garbage collector in J2SDK1.4.2_11 buggy? 

If I were to monitor the performance of the applications, what kind of
tools are available? Are there any tools to search for memory leaks in
the application ? I hope someone can guide me to the correct answers (or
atleast to the correct websites or tools).

Thanks in advance
