Java heap space error during jboss start

[metturarun]

Hi ,

I am getting java heap error ie  java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space  , while trying to start jboss 5.0 server. So after that i have increased the memory to 512MB ie Xms32m -Xmx128m. But after that also i am getting the same error. can any one help me on this?

Any body know the reason for this issue?...

the problem seems to be that there is not enough memory: OutOfMemoryError ; )
need more input:

• how do you start JBoss and
• how/ where do you set memory parameters?

Seems your heap size is not effective. Try this

Stop JBoss server, edit $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.conf, and then restart JBoss server. You can change the line with JAVA_OPTS to something like:

JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms256m -Xmx512m"

Are you running on Windows and are you perhaps starting JBoss AS as a service? If so, you may be running into a bug where the JAVA_OPTS setting in service.bat is causing the JAVA_OPTS settings in run.conf.bat to be ignored.
