The limit is the memory on your system (and, if smaller, the maximum heap allocated for the JVM).

If using sun's java.exe you can use the -Xmx option. Example:java -Xmx128M ClassNamewill run the class with maximum heap size set to 128 megs.

Cool!can you also tell me how Browser handle the memory aspect? All I need is a maximum of 1MB for one temporary single String.

It is an XML-Description of a complex automation-Device sent via web. It's gonna be parsed after receiving.Thanks for your replies!Flo

Can't you parse it on the fly, while reading it? (if it still causes problems...)

That's a good suggestion, I think I will if I still get problems. Just that I think it is easier to pass a String Object to my parser-instance than connect it to an InputStream. Well, if I it is nescessary, I'll have to do this.Flo
