Thanks everyone for the reply! My problem is not to argue how the application is consuming RAM, but to show that 150MB is not too much memory. But for that I'd like to use trusted information such as an article, or official info. The client doesn't understand anything about technologies but has opened the Windows Task Manager and saw that Tomcat is on top 3 in memory consumption. I just need to argue with him that 150MB is normal for a Java web app.
I know that "normal" really depends on how your/my application has been developed but I was just wondering if I could find information about memory consumption of a small 1 CRUD application (for example). And yes I could start Tomcat with no app, and create a 1 CRUD application, but I would prefer to argue with some trusted article or official information. Ah! BTW, I'm not complaining about Java or Tomcat memory consumption! I'm just trying to argue with the client. =D And I'm running Tomcat 6 and Java 1.6 thanks, again! -- <http://www.reconcavo.org.br/> *CELSO DANTAS* *Pesquisa & Inovação + 55 71 2101.4104 | skype: celsomdantas* Antes de imprimir pense em seu compromisso com o Meio Ambiente.
