    Default Java application Memory Leak

    Hi All,
    I was running an java application in unix machines , during load for 20 hrs in last 5 hrs every 1 hour virtual memory is increasing by 2 MB though RES memory is stable so my friend is saying the application has memory leak..below is a hour wise load stat using top command. my question is 1.) whether increase in virtual memory means memory leak? 2.) Which column in top stats has to be considered for memory usage?.

    It's one thing to assume a memory leak by looking at how the total memory increases, and it's another by looking at what specific type of memory is increasing.
    Try to get a report of your heap memory, divided between your Eden Space, Survivor Space, and Tenured Generation. This way you can get a better idea of what the garbage collector is doing.
