java heap space error in eclipse

Question

I am getting 16912 records by calling a webservice.When I am trying to write these records in an xml file I am getting

[WARN] Unhandled Exception thrown: class org.apache.axis2.AxisFault
Jul 27, 2013 12:46:45 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [action] in context with path [/WebserviceApplication] threw exception
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Java heap space

Any solution?

Solution 1

Task Manager > Processes > and End the task 'java.exe'

Restart 'java.exe' from your jre/bin

Restart eclipse

This worked for me.

You can also try modifying Xms and Xmx in eclipse.ini (in the eclipse installtion folder) to: -Xms768m -Xmx768m

Solution 2

If you want to increase there are a few tips here Increasing eclipse memory

But I think that what you will need to do is increase the amount of memory available to your application when it is running, to set up your run configuration you can have a look here

Then you can pass your vm arguments eg -Xms200m -Xmx500m in the arguments tab (I think, one of the tabs anyway).

I would suggest that you have a look at VisualVM, its a java tool for monitoring and analysing your application.

For eclipse u need to add options in eclipse.ini file present in ECLIPSE_HOME. these are Steps to set values for JVM. you need to try this. this should work.
