OC4J memory error for substantial app

Question

In loading a substantial BC4J driven application on OC4J I receive :
500 Internal Server Error
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

There is plenty of server memory free, which means I need to boost the footprint of the OC4J server I think. Please confirm, and what swith would I use?

Hello VKansal
I consider it absurd that a billion dollar corporation such as Oracle has to rely on the oem purchase of the Orion product to save it's java ass. It consider it doubly absurd that the subsequent marketing push of said product can at once be so full of hype and so lacking in technical support as to be the mark of a corporation gone mad.
Thankyou for your "Orion support" response to my problem, a problem completely ignored by The J2EE "team" at Oracle.
Did you know that this OC4J is at once god's gift to J2EE deployment and also "early adopter technology" without support?
Did you know that Oracle Marketing is pushing OC4J as an answer to the market leader BEA, and yet everywhere on this forum there are problems about deployment that are unanswered by tech support, answered with the "unsupported" tag line, or answered by links to documentation that is incorrect?
Kinda makes you wonder if the 20 thousand dollar price tag to get the OEM'd Orion server in 9ias, which originally sold for 1500$ with better documentation from Orion, is a good purchase decision.
NOT that my complete waste of time bashing out these details isn't A LOT of fun while I'm struggling to deliver production ready code under blazing time to market considerations! NO! I LOVE TO WASTE MY TIME, AND MY CLIENTS MONEY! THAT'S HOW WE'RE ALL SUCCESSFULL IN THIS BUSINESS, RIGHT?

Mark -
Perhaps Oracle support doesn't want to here this, but the best information for OCJ4 is available either by scanning the mailing list at www.orionserver.com or looking at www.orionsupport.com - a site developed by users of Orion with no actual association with the vompany. I've been working with the app-server for over a year now and have certainly been frustrated at the lack of documentation - and of course Oracle hasn't improved it. Oracle should have spent much more time training their technical staff before giving it to the marketing chumps to run with. I believe that the move of Oracle and Orion is a good one from a technical perspective however - I am over the major bump in the Orion learning curve and I absolutely love the product - but I'm not sure that the Oracle staff are over that (what can be) tough first part of the curve. Hopefully they are all hunkered down with Karl and Magnus from Orion trying to learn all the required stuff.
Cheers
