I'm responsible for hosting a java Applet which has to use a lot of memory and the SUN JVM. Is there way to determine how much memory can be used by the jvm ? I know the -Xmx and -Xms options but is there a way to find usefull values automated ? For a rule of thumb i found hints like "use the half of the system memory , etc..) but on some systems that does not work, the ie and netscape "crash" when i follow that rule. I found out that this happens when the -Xmx value is set to high, if i now go down with that value step by step till the ie (Netscape) does not crash everything works ok, but me and some other people are not very happy with the idea to redirect everybody who wants to access the applet to a site with that trial and error procedure. I would be very happy if anybody can give me a little help on that. Another question is: Does Anybody know a way to set the -Xmx and -Xms options used by the JavaPlugin automated by script or application to make it more easy for people to access applets that use much memory without the need to set the -Xmx , etc. options by hand in the java control panel ? Any help on that would be appreciated too. If that group was the wrong place for that questions i apologize for wasting your time.

JWS can set the memory size AFAIU. As a suggestion. Use a helper application to determine the best size of the memory given whatever formula you have devised, then write an appropriate .JNLP file based on that.

This (c.l.j.machine) is a good group for this type of question, but please set follow-ups to a single group. I will not do that with my reply as I understand that the .de java group is quite active, and you might also get good responses from there.
