I am running a web application using jsp pages on tomcat 4.1. When I try to access a certain jsp page I get the following error. I'm running on Windows XP.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

----- Root Cause -----
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Are you trying to create a very big object in the memory in that JSP. I mean you might be creating some array or reading something in an infinate loop into the memory.. (My guess).

Basically a variable in the JSP is requiring a lot of memory.

Hope this helps.

I'm not too sure if this works in tomcat 5 these days, but for post 5.0 versions, set the following environment variables and you shouldn't have any problems:

CATALINA_OPTS=-mx163577856
TOMCAT_OPTS=-mx163577856

Now I think the CATALINA_OPTS is for 4.0, where TOMCAT_OPTS is for pre 4.0..

What can cause this to happen by the way is a large collection or map in memory for example, this can also be at the servlet and may not be fault of the jsp.

the error was caused by a large map and when I added to the tomcat server:
-Xms128m
and
-Xmx396m

it worked.
