Hi,
We are facing some issue while starting the Oracle BI Java Host service. It throws the following error.
This application was working properly till some 2 days back and suddenly it has started giving this error. We have not updated any software. The host machine is Win XP.

@Deepak,
Following are the log contents

It also mentions about the buffer space....could that be a reason for this.
By the way, I forgot to mention, this deployment is in a VMWare (with XP as OS) which is hosted on Windows Server.
