  • ColdFusion 10 Update 10
  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Java 1.7.0_21

I am trying to figure Full GCs to run every 10 minutes. I have used the gcInterval JVM arg in the past on earlier versions of ColdFusion with success, but I have confirmed with verbose GC logs that Full GCs are still happening on the hour (Unless the Old Gen gets so full that it forces a full collection).

Here are the full JVM args from ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\jvm.config (line breaks added for readability)

Is there something else I need to be doing to get this working on ColdFusion 10?

java.args=
