Unlikely. If you are using SSL or serving large static files, APR/tcnative should be something that you look into using. Honestly, I would put more effort into upgrading to a more recent version of Tomcat than looking into using APR/tcnative. >>> No errors before in catalina.out.

It really seems like you are just grasping at straws and trying whatever technique comes to mind at the time. Stop. Instrument your webapp. Take data. When you have something substantive, draw a conclusion and confirm it. Only then should you take corrective action. Right now, you are changing all sorts of things and you'll never know what was the one thing that worked because you've changed everything. > I have reset it to 768 Mb and now the memory seems to keep quite > low, some people say that Tomcat 5.x doesn't like much more than 1 > Gb of heap memory and that GC is not doing his job: > > http://serverfault.com/questions/281515/periodic-unresponsiveness-in-tomcat Malarkey. > Tomcat 5.5 doesn't really care what heap size it's got as long as it's more than 4MiB or so. The page you referenced in here doesn't even mention Tomcat 5.5. Usually the GC does do its job properly, and that includes pausing the whole JVM in order to reclaim memory if necessary. The above thread from ServerFault is about unresponsiveness, not about OOME: the GC caused unresponsiveness to avoid OOME (and it worked). Stop making crazy claims and actually look at your own environment to figure out what's going on. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk+inVAACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PB3PQCbBuaYoIurA30z8N3dtLElQXRf MdAAnid8y+qveidJMq5j86946bVYD2Ip =7lpb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
