java.lang.OutOfMemoryException:Java heap space

Hi All,

I am getting the java.lang.OutOfMemoryException:Java heap space error while saving my soap ui project.
I am having around 80 WSDLS for which we have around 20 test cases for each WSDL in my project.
When i made some changes and tried to save project i see the error.
Please help me to overcome this error.

Thanks,
Siva

    Hi Siva,


    Try changing soapui.bat (or soapui.sh depending on your OS) and giving Java VM more memory by increasing the value in JAVA_OPTS
    environment variable next to -Xmx options.
    Let us know if made the heap space error go away.


    Cheers!

    Hi Nenad

    Thanks for the replay,I have done that and that's working great, but is there any way i could set this parameter on run time?

    Thanks,
    Siva.

    Hello,

    These parameters are passed to the Java VM upon startup and unfortunately cannot be changed once started.

    Hello,

    In soapui.bat find:

    ...
    rem JVM parameters, modify as appropriate

    set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx256m -Dsoapui.properties=soapui.properties "-Dsoapui.home=%SOAPUI_HOME%"

    if "%SOAPUI_HOME%" == "" goto START
        set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dsoapui.ext.libraries="%SOAPUI_HOME%ext"
        set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dsoapui.ext.listeners="%SOAPUI_HOME%listeners"
    ...


    In line :

    ...
    set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx256m -Dsoapui.properties=soapui.properties "-Dsoapui.home=%SOAPUI_HOME%"
    ...


    To give more memory to soapui change -Xmx256m to -Xmx512m, for example. This is giving 512M to soapiu java process.

    Let me know does this helps,
    robert
