Using jboss 3.2.6 and tomcat 5, I can’t get any new JSP pages to compile.

Even with a default jsp page, I get:

The system is out of resources.
Consult the following stack trace for details.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

16:26:29,431 ERROR [Engine] StandardWrapperValve[jsp]: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac.compile(Javac.java:944)

any ideas?

If the page is sufficiently complex you might have a cycle somewhere… have you tried giving Tomcat/JBoss more memory when running?

[johnjoreilly]

I have tried boosting the memory, by setting JVM memory allocation to
-Xms128m -Xmx256m in JBoss’s run.bat. The complexity of the page is not the issue. HelloWorld.jsp won’t work.

[johnjoreilly]

OK, I found the correct place to boost the memory. It’s working now.
