Performance Problem using Tomcat running on windows 2003
Hi,
I am new to Tomcat. I have an enterprise application that is running on the followng:
1. Apache Tomcat 4.1.31
2. J2SDK1.4.2_11
3. Windows 2003 OS SP1.
The hardware is as follows:
HP 2-CPU machine
2 GB Memory
The database used is SQL-Server 2000 SP4.
The setup is configured so that Tomcat uses maximum 750 MB of RAM. The problem is that the memory used by Tomcat continues to increase until it has no memory to find and then it crashes. The only way to recover is to re-start the server.
I need help in finding out why this happens ? Are there any known issues in tomcat 4.1.31 ? Is the Garbage collector in J2SDK1.4.2_11 buggy?
If I were to monitor the performance of the applications, what kind of tools are available? Are there any tools to search for memory leaks in the application ?
Thanks in advance
(If I am in the wrong forum please direct to the correct one.)
