As long as you are putting those search results only into request attributes or something like that for temporary storage, you should be okay. Don't forget that a single *huge* result set can still cause an OOME if you don't have enough memory allocated. > Yeah, its not crashing. Nor the JVM either.

How much memory do you have configured for the JVM, and how much memory is actually free? IF you're swapping a lot, maybe you need to a) buy more memory or b) lower the memory allocation to your app. Of course, lowering your memory allocation could lead to OOME, but both problems are effectively the same. > I'm pretty sure it´s not a burst, but > something that progressively gets allocated and not deallocated.

You should have a GC curve that looks like this: /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/. If if goes up and up and up, you obviously have a memory leak. If it only goes up at intervals (say, once an hour), then maybe you have a rare event or timed event that leaks, rather than something that happens all the time (say, with every request). That will give you some idea of what you are looking for. Oh, and don't freak out when you find out how much memory is consumed by char[] objects ;) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHVWqK9CaO5/Lv0PARArG7AJ9yk+QetNqRsJ5ua91WQZqE0b6JEQCfUVdP ahQyWiVH6KdVwawPThik9yA= =aYhz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
