Java Heap Space

[a.r.viswanath@gmail.com]

Hi,

This is JSF and SWF project. I have problem while I click command link, I get following error. I have tried running on other eclipse instance and it works fine. I have edited all eclipse.ini and also catalina.bat files but didn't work. Even newer instance of eclipse and tomcat were installed and same error. Could someone tell me what's the problem like.

org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher invoke

[Tolls]

Apart from stating the obvious, that you are using more memory than the JVM has available, there's not much we can say.

It looks like it's eating up memory on some array copy, possibly during building the view data? Is there some huge slab of data you're passing back from whatever Servlet this is?

It's solved now. I had this line in my view (xhtml) at three places

<input><img src="...."></input>

After deleting these line, there is no heap space problem now. Looks like this was eating up a whole lot of memory...
