I am running alfresco on a local instance on jboss and occasionally i run out of memory. i found a forums post suggesting i increase the memory max on my server but i would rather just shut off any servcie that eats memory. what are the most likely candidates for memory leakage? i have already shut off network-services.
We have found 2 memory leaks in 1.1.2. The first was an issue with the Lucene 3rd party library which we patched for 1.2RC1. The second issue is now also fixed and will be available in 1.2RC2.
I believe you would be able to download 1.2RC1 and patch in the lucene.jar file from it into your 1.1.2 distribution for now if you needed too - but i haven't tried this!
Also, Alfresco requires a certian ammount of memory. Our bundles prior to 1.2.2 didn't increase the default memory allocation - which is only 64M. If possible, this should be set to at least 512M.
See this postfor information about setting the vm's memory limits.
