OutOfMemory

[Lars Vegas]

Hi there,
i have a question about OutOfMemory Error.
In my application when I toggle between two windows the JVM is always allocating new memory til it reaches about 64 MB. After that it doesn't rise anymore. When opening other windows in the application, the memory will stay at about the same level. but then the whole application is very slow and after a while I will get the OutOfMemory Error. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later. Any ideas about maybe garbage collection or finalization???
any help appreciated.

Try to call System.gc() and finalize unused objects.

when running System.gc() and finalization, nothing happens. maybe just a little bit of memory is released, but not much. that doesn't seem to work.

Maybe your problem is of the same nature as the one discussed here.

I have seen the garbage collector run when the application needs more heap..and that is one of the reasons it is slowing down. Usually I check the memory of the process and collect the max memory it needs and then set the max heap size. Hope this helps.

I've senn the discussion about dispose(), but that doesn't help either.
Maybe we have some references in the program that are not garbageCollected. I just don't know. anyway, if someone has an idea what might cause this problem, don't hesitate to let me know.
Thanx in advance.
