Hi,

Does anyone know what this means:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space (failed to allocate 1701671008
bytes)

Does it mean it was trying to allocate a 1.7GB object?!??

Context: After running for several days, and while using 700M out of an
allocated 2000M for heap, it got an out-of-memory exception. This is Java
build 1.5.0_06-b05.


Does anyone know where I can find the exact meaning of an exception from
the JVM? I tried Sun's site but with no luck.

Thanks,
Mike
