Problem setting heap size in an embedded server

[smuehlba]

Hi,

i'm trying to store a file in a hsql-db.
If the file's too big, i get a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: java heap space!
I'm using an embedded server, so my question is, where can i increase heap size? I didn't find anything about heap in my config-files.

Thanks in adavance

Best regards

Hello,

You should change the JAVA_OPTS value in the <JBOSS_HOME>/bin/run.conf file to increase the heap size.

JAVA_OPTS="-server-Xms128m -Xmx512m-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000"

Here,

The minimum heap size is 128m and you can set the maximum heap size to any value. Some example parameters for maximum heap size is 512m, 1024m and 2048m.

Hi,

sorry, i don't have any run.conf!
I'm using an EMBEDDED server which is not started by a script.
The server starts, when the JavaProg runs...
There are only some xml-files for configuration:

ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml
embedded-jboss-beans.xml
jboss-jms-beans.xml
log4j.xml
login-config.xml
security-beans.xml

I have never used the embedded server so please ignore my ignorance, and feel free to ignore my post if it makes no sense.

Is the server embedded within a Java application? If so, change the heap size for the Java application. Since it is all in one JVM...

Is the server embedded within a C/C++/??? application? What API call is used to load the server? I know that the standard API function used to load the JVM has a parameter that takes JVM options, and you can add the heap sizes to that parameter.
