Heap Memory Space Issue

[Charu Singh]

I am running an application on iPlanet and we sporadically get the java.lang.OutOfMemory error on the server. the server is set-up to 1096K of heap memory.

We generally get this error after an EJB invoke method failure,

com.iplanet.portalserver.session.SessionException: Null or zero-length Session ID
at com.iplanet.portalserver.session.Session.getSession(Session.java:431)

We have ben trying to fix this problem but i guess nothing is working. The code for the app seems to be fine. Does anyone have a thought on what could be the reason for this random occurrence? Could it be related to the JDBC driver?

[Mr. C Lamont Gilbert]

Not likely to be JDBC related. the GC should run before an OOM exception and in that case unused JDBC resources will all be recovered.
