I have Tomcat 6 running as a service on Windows 2003. I go to the Tomcat service monitor, choose configure, choose the Java tab, and add:
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError ...as one of the Java options. When the OutOfMemoryError that I'm concerned about hits, I look around on the disk to find an .hprof file. I searched the entire computer; no such file is found. Any pointers? Thanks, Laird
