Description Michael Guzman 2005-03-30 19:08:06 UTC

I am running build using ant that reloads context at the end (ant task in 
tomcat 5), if I do 4-5 consequitive builds, I get out of memory. Increasing 
the java memory did not lead to any result.

If you can provide a simple test case (WAR of a webapp) we can use to reproduce
your results, that'd be great.  Otherwise, we will simply assume it's your
webapp (or, more likely, one of the libraries it uses) that are leaking memory
and not Tomcat itself.  And therefore treat this report as invalid...

Note that this issue has been discussed extensively in the past, and Tomcat
extensively tested and profiled in this area.  You may want to inquire on
tomcat-user, search that list's archives, and/or search for other similar
bugzilla items that have been resolved.
