Hi friends

I am getting java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error.I read the thread

http://www.coderanch.com/t/87530/Tomcat/Out-memory-Tomcat
I can come to any conclution.with the help of line

at the end of program i got
Java memory in use = 44747512

-Xms512m -Xmx512m ble bla ......

Please help me to sort out my problem

thanks in advance

There are only two ways of dealing with the OutOfMemoryException:

Reduce program memory consumption. The heap usage can be analysed using tools like jhat.

Increase memory allocated to the JVM using the -Xms and -Xmx JVM options.

You need to decide, what is it that you want to do. Show us some efforts, give enough information and we will be happy to help.

You need to track what the garbage collector is doing. See my paper at ceCMG for one way you could do this. (And no, using JConsole does not provide the necessary information - you need to know how much heap space is in use after each major collection.)

Oh, the other option is to read the performance chapter of JBoss In Action where I go into this in detail. Most of the chapter applies to Java apps in general, not just to JBossAS.

hi priya i recently got this error and i dont know how to solve this case and ive been increasing my memory on my run.conf

but im still getting this error?

how could i fix this? i have many setter and getter method does this method affect consuming the memory or causing java heap space?

thanks

Do heap dump analysis.
