MaxDirectMemorySize; where to configure

843829Nov 24 2009 — edited Nov 25 2009
Hello --

I am a technical writer trying to address a "direct buffer memory" error situation.

I understand that users can change the MaxDirectMemorySize option to increase the virtual memory space and likely eliminate this error.

I was told that setting "deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0.args=-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=256M" in the deployment.properties file will change the memory.

However, I have seen references to deployment.javaws.jre.1.5.0.args=-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=256M.

Can someone help distinguish between javapi and javaws?

Is this Java Plug-in vs. Java Web Start?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Michael
