Memory Usage, Leakage and java.lang.OutofMemory

Mike Curwen

2003-09-17


So let's say that I have a web app that is slowly but surely leaking.

Eventually, I will get a java.lang.OutOfMemory error.

With how Tomcat is internally architected, or with how the JVM operates,
does this cause a problem for all other applications running under
Tomcat? Is there now no more memory for *anything* running under Tomcat
(and let's not forget Tomcat itself)?

Or if I just 'reload' the problem webapp, will that 'release' all the
memory that is currently being hogged by this app?
