Hi,

I have an application that runs perfectly well on windows based JVMs. But with same use cases, my application run out of memory on Hp-UX JVM.

I am using Java1.4.1_03 vm.

Can anybody help me to understand the differences in the behaviour ?

thanks

Did you try to increase the heap size ?

I have set the heap size to 120M. This more than enough for Windows but some how insufficient for HP-Ux.
This is a GUI application. The memory leak happens because one of the dialog boxes does not get cleaned up from the memory. Same dialog box with same code path gets cleanedup from Windows JVM.

I profiled my application using Jprobes Memory debugger. Interestingly the dilaog box disappears from heap when taking a snapshot in the jprobe. So i have no clue whats causing it to stay when i run it stand alone.
