It is highly compatible with applications that are built with earlier .NET Framework versions, except for some changes that were made to improve security, standards compliance, correctness, reliability, and performance.

How to set Java heap space in Apache Tomcat?

azhar    Development, Gadgets, IT, IT Operations, Web Server     apache tomcat, heap space, Java, out of memory

If Java runs out of memory, the following error occurs:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

This can have two reasons:

• Your Java application has a memory leak. There are tools like YourKit Java Profiler that help you to identify such leaks.
• Your Java application really needs a lot of memory (more than 128 MB by default!). In this case the Java heap size can be increased using the following runtime parameters:

java -Xms<initial heap size> -Xmx<maximum heap size>

Defaults are:

java -Xms32m -Xmx128m

You can set this either in the Java Control Panel or on the command line, depending on the environment you run your application.
