VM exits without throwing any exception if it can't reserve enough heap.

Hi,
I have spent the whole day searching for a solution to this problem or atleast to get some clue in any of the forums but still not able to :(
I have a simple application just as simple as HelloWorld program that prints some message,say "Hi There", using a JOptionPane. I have created the .exe using InstallAnywhere and have specified the parameters to reserve heap as follows:
-Xms300M -Xmx2048M -Xmn80MUnfortunately, I have a total of only 1GB RAM on my system and since I have specified -Xmx2048, the application closes immediately without even throwing OutOfMemoryException.
When I tried launching the same application using command prompt specifying the same parameters to reserve heap (java -Xms300M -Xmx2048M -Xmn80M -cp . ClassName), I could see the following error:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
I can see the above error message only when I launch it from command prompt and not when I launch it from InstallAnywhere's .exe.
However, I can see the above error message in the latter case if I keep the Ctrl key hold down while launching the application. If I dont hold down the Ctrl key, the application console simply appears for a moment and closes before user can see what exactly is happening.
Is there any way of flagging some error message to the user to indicate that VM couldn't reserve the specified heap size since it's not presently available before closing?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Umesh

linux-x86 On Linux virtual memory relies on file space that exists on the harddrive which is dedicated to that purpose.
The file space is just like any other file space.
If that file space fills up, for any reason, then the OS will appear to run out of memory for applications.
The one time this happened to me the virtual space was mapped such that regular files were using the space. Specifically my log files. So as the log files grew the application memory decreased.And if the crashed JVM generates a core file...

  • LookupXRef not throwing any exception

    Hi All,
    We are using ESB Cross referencing out of box functionality provided with 10.1.3.3 SOA Suite.We have a case where we need to have some busineess logic when the value we are trying to look up in the Cross Ref table doesnot exists , in that case we tried to use needAnException(set to true()) field in the lookupXRef function inside the transformation.However its not throwing any exception in the BPEL Process.Instead it is avoiding other fields in getting populated underneath it in that complex type.As a result we are losing important business data inside the BPEL Process.Same is the case for PopulateXRefRow function as well while we are trying to insert a duplicate value into the Cross referencing table from BPEL Process.
    We need an exception for the above two cases.Are there any work arounds for these.

  • Persist does not throw any exception in a JUnit test

    I am implementing a JUnit test using Toplink as JPA provider. I must be missing something because I try to persist two times the same entity and no exception is thrown. Neither PersistenceException nor any other type of exception. The code cannot be easier:
    @Test
    public void testAddExistingTeam() throws Exception {
    Team team = new Team("team2");
    try{     
    EntityManagerFactory emf =
    Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("fofo");
    EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
    em.getTransaction().begin();
    em.persist(team);
    em.persist(team);
    em.getTransaction().commit();
    em.close();
    catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    Notice the two em.persist(team).
    This code does not seem to either enter the catch block or produce any sort of exception. On the other hand, I have checked that after the first
    em.persist(team); the team is really managed.
    The relevant parts of the Team class definition follow:
    @Entity
    @Table (name ="TEAM")
    public class Team implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @Column (name="NAME")
    private String name;
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn (name="CLUB_NAME", referencedColumnName="NAME")
    private Club club;
    private Category category;
    private String email;
    @ManyToMany(mappedBy="teams")
    private List<Competition> competitions;
    public Team (String name){
    this.name = name;
    this.club = null;
    this.competitions = new ArrayList<Competition>();
    ....getters/setters....and more constructors.
    I am really puzzled by this issue. Somebody could help??? I would be really grateful!!!
    Josepma

    This is expected behavior as persist is a no-op if called on a managed entity (other than to cascade over relationships marked with cascade.Persist), and the first persist call makes the passed in team entity managed.
    Try calling em.flush(); and em.clear(); between the persist calls to get an exception.
    The first flush will ensure the team is inserted in the database, while clear will detach it so that the second persist call will try to insert the team. JPA providers are not required to throw the entityExistsException on persist - it can be delayed until the transaction is flushed or committed, so you are likely to get a PersistenceException from the commit instead of EntityExistsException from persist.

  • Dbms_job.submit - job is restarting but - not throwing any exceptions

    We have a job that is a simple loop that looks for (wakes up by) looking for messages coming in using DBMS_PIPE.
    The job has been restarting arbitrarily but - we're not seeing messages generated via any of the associated exception handlers.
    No idea why it's restarting when it fails.... currently - I'm just looking for a way to have the dbms_job.submit call NOT automatically restart if it has issues.
    Currently just calling as such:
    DBMS_JOB.submit(jobno, 'pkg_package.listen;');
    Running on 10.2.0.4.0
    Any insight is appreciated.
    Is there a way to prevent it from automatically restarting and - is there something I should be looking for specifically around dbms_job when it comes to the exception handling in the packages/procedures it's running??
    Thanks.

    We generate a log record in a table using an autonomous procedure when an exception is raised.
    Where I'm seeing the log records stating an issue with the job - I'm also seeing the tracefile / alerts being generated.
    When the job starts - we log a record stating it's started....
    In many instances - I'm seeing it log a start but - there's no corresponding trace file (i.e. - it wasn't manually started - it was processing and - then - without exception 'died' - didn't generate an error but - just started up again).
    I've no idea what's going on here. I've validated that everywhere through the underlying package the job is running that the exceptions are being logged. Yet - it's arbitrarily starting up again on some occassions (and - I can't seem to find any general commonality around when this is happening or - what would be causing it).
    So - I'm thinking this is an issue with the DBMS_JOB or - something else funky going on....
    As an FYI - This job is simply a loop that waits to receive a message on DBMS_PIPE that then fires off a package procedure when it receives the message.
    In the interim - to alleviate data issues as a result of it processing the same data twice - I'm trying to prevent it from auto restarting... is there a way to do this?

  • Just got a new computer and I want to hook up my itouch and treat it just like i did with the last computer, without losing any data. What can I do?

    Help me please! I'm a new college student trying to make my new computer just like the family computer, which has all of my itunes, ipod sync "station", and etc.How can I hook up my iTouch to this new computer and treat it the same as i did on the old?
         P.S.-and just like everyone else, is there a way to do it without losing all my hard earned data?

    Make sure you cpt the iPod backup file from the old compouter to the new one.  That file is located here:

    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    - after you move the other stuff to your new computer, connect the iPod to the new computer and restore the iPod from the backup you just added to the computer and then sync.

    Exception Thrown Here!!!

    Reiner,
    Tried what you suggested, still get the same results.  This the 3rd development system I try this from. In all cases I generated proxies via drop and drop of the SaveData Method under StandardMaterial (BOR).  Since it was just generated the MetaData should be up to date?, good suggestion thought, I could see where that might be a problem going against different backends.
    My lastest attempt (I am quickly running out of ideas), was to generate a Standalone Proxy containing the SaveData method.  Same Results :{ 
    I was able to create Standalone Proxies for the other Business Objects I'm using (Characteristics, Class..etc) without a hitch. (Except for "Class", complaining about the Class name generated (Public Class Class...so I renamed to sapClass).  Using the Standalone Proxy Class I might try from Visual Studio 2005 to see if I get the same results.
    Also encountered another problem when trying to Add the whole BOR object StandardMaterial to the Proxy (so I would have access to a few of the Methods....this failed with some Java out of memory error....I would have to attempt this again to capture the exact error....when I get time I'll put that in another post).

  • PrintWriter methods throw NO exceptions!

    Hi,
    According to the PrintWriter javadoc:
    "Methods in this class never throw I/O exceptions. The client may inquire as to whether any errors have occurred by invoking checkError()."
    I think this sounds strange in Java language, since it has the Exceptions mechanism...does any one know the reason why it is like this?
    Regards

    With unchecked exception, it will still terminate my function mid-way!
    Here is a concrete example:
    public void method1() {
       try {
          ... open database then read 1 entry ...
          file.println("Entry is "+x);
          method2();
          ... close the DB connection properly.
       } catch(DBException ex) {
          ... deal with the DB failure accordingly
    public void method2() {
       try {
          ... open a webconnection then read 1 webpage ...
          file.println("Webpage is" + y);
          ... now close the web connection
       } catch(webException ex) {
          ... deal with the Web failure in a web-specific way
    }If println throws exception (checked or unchecked), then I must wrap method1 AND method2
    in yet another try/catch block. Otherwise, the function will die halfway, and my database or web connection
    will be in a funky state.
    By not throwing any exception (unless OutOfMemory or other dire situation),
    I can write method1 and method2 without worrying about it.
    And then at the end, I just check to see if all the writes succeeded or not.

  • How close server socket without throwing exception to accepted socket

    Hi,
    In my project, we are closing the server by running a program which connects to server through socket.
    Through socket, it asks server to destroy all the process and atlast server exist it connection by
    System.exit(0);
    Because of this, accepted socket throws a socket exception which clients don't want to see in their log file.
    Is there any way to close the server in the accepted socket or to close without throwing exception.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nasrin.N

    All you have to do is close the ServerSocket then wait for all currently executing accepted-socket threads to exit. Closing the ServerSocket won't do anything to accepted sockets, but terminating the process early via System.exit() will, and this is what you want to avoid.

  • Why StorageFolder.CreateFileAsync(String) creates file fail without any exception thrown?

    Hi jinchanglin,
    Have you ever tried with profiling the app while debug the app,
    Analyze app performance and
    Analyze memory usage (VB, C#, C++)
    Is it possible that CPU or memory usage reach to the limitation as you need execute the same code with nearly 150,000 times. Also you mentioned, 5000 times is ok, personally I think the code is fine, but you may need to care more about performance behavior.
    As I know if you are working with a Phone device, there is some limitation for memory usage, you cannot let your app use more memory set than that value, try to find the limitation from
    AppMemoryUsageLimit | appMemoryUsageLimit property
