Question

I have an OutOfMemory (heap size) in eclipse using a third party plugin
The plug in is Adobe Livecycle work bench and during the out of memory the
plugin is retrieving via WS (using Axis) a list of around 70 workflow components
on my server

Here is a extract of my call stack in Eclipse

… at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1144)

Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space; nested
exception is: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at
org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFaultBuilder.createFault …

I am using this eclipse.ini

-showlocation
-vm
C:\bea920\jdk150_04\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms512M
-Xmx1024M

I don’t use any commandline options

I have added -Xmx1024m to my only Installed JRE in Java/Installed JREs

It seems to me that :
-eclipse is not OutOfMemory itself
it displays only 300Mo out of 1024Mo used
it continues working properly
-the plugin launch its axis parsing without giving it enough memory

Questions :
– Are my suppositions right ?
– How do I find where and how to give more memory to the process launched by eclipse launcher ?

Answer 1

I was able to find were the problem is

• I used Fiddler with eclipse (using proxy settings)
• This way I was able to spot that the soap answer was an OutOfMemory
  soapenv:Fault
  faultcode soapenv:Server.generalException
  faultstring java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space; nested exception is:
  java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

• So the problem was on the server

• I have now another problem : the server builds an answer which is to big for eclipse

Thank you for your answers
