How do I find out default max heap size

843811Jun 19 2002 — edited Jun 20 2002
Hi !
I am using IBM java 1.2.2 on aix 4.3.3 I was under the impression that the default max heap size is 16M. But looks like my process is growing above 16M and still not giving OutofMemoryException.

How can I find out the default heap size for a particular jvm implementation. Is there a command to do it?

Is it true that the process will be hung or no longer operate once it uses heap space equal to max heap size or will it keep on increasing if there is more physical memory available on the machine.

Any information regarding these 2 questions will be helpful.

Thanks
