I have deployed my web application under tomcat6 on windows server 2008. In office hours my application needs to respond to a lot of traffic. At that time it seems that the memory consumption of tomcat reaches say 8GB, however even more memory is available in the system, but my application's response time is very low and some times no response.

Is there some way that tomcat should call garbage collector after, say, 6GB memory is consumed?

don't you mean "response time is very high"? – Javier Oct 27 '10 at 12:11
Have you set any JVM parameters for the heap such as Xmx, Xms etc at present? – JoseK Oct 27 '10 at 12:24

@Javier: sorry i mean it is taking too much time to respond – Ahsan Iqbal Oct 27 '10 at 14:09
