RV: Memory problem in Tomcat

[Inma Marín López <inma (at) dif.um.es>]

Hello,

 

I have a web service running in Tomcat (v 5.5.4) + axis (v 1.2). It receives
a file and it makes some operations with that file. When receiving small
files (<2Mb) the web service executes successfully; however, with files of
bigger size, the service throws InvocationTargetException (the service is
unable to invoke a particular method) or even goes out of memory.

 

For those big files, I have tried to change the value of ?OPT=-Xmx128M?,
within ?workers2.properties? file in /log directory in Tomcat, and made it
bigger, testing with different values (currently, it has value
?-Xmx8388608M?), but I get the same results.

 

Could you be so kind as to tell me if it is a matter of memory configuration
in Tomcat and how can I solve it, please?

 

Thank you very much in advance.
