tomcat

Hi all, I have three Windows Server 2003 with 2 GB RAM.

Server1 tomcat 5.5.25 jvm version SUN 1.6.0_11-b03
Server2 tomcat 5.5.25 jvm version SUN 1.6.0_14-b08
Server3 tomcat 6.0.18 jvm version SUN 1.6.0_14-b08

For the three servers JVM parameters are:

 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
 -Dcatalina.base=C:\Apache Group\apache-tomcat-5.5.25
 -Dcatalina.home=C:\Apache Group\apache-tomcat-5.5.25
 -Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Apache Group\apache-tomcat-5.5.25\common\endorsed
 -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Apache Group\apache-tomcat-5.5.25\temp vfprintf
 -Xms512m
 -Xmx1024m

For some months everithing worked fine. Last friday we installed some windows updates. After the reboot tomcat doesn't start anymore, with error:

   Error occurred during initialization of VM
   Could not reserve enough space for object heap

We reduced the parameter -Xmx1024m to -Xmx768m and now tomcat starts. But we need greater max heap size What happened to our servers ? Thanks in advance.

Where my memory is alloced, Stack or Heap, Can I find it at Run-time?

I know that memory alloced using new, gets its space in heap, and so we need to delete it before program ends, to avoid memory leak. Let's look at this program... Case 1: char *MyData = new char[20]; _tcscpy(MyData,"Value"); . . . delete[] MyData; MyData = NULL; Case 2: char *MyData = new char[20]; MyData… >>> More
