How to Increase the Memory of a JNLP File: Troubleshooting Out-of-Memory Errors

When working with Java Web Start applications, having the right memory settings is crucial, especially when you're dealing with large datasets. One common issue that can arise is encountering an out-of-memory error, even after you've set appropriate memory parameters in your JNLP file. In this guide, we will explore how to diagnose and solve this problem based on a real-life scenario.

The Problem: Out-of-Memory Error

Imagine you've created a JNLP file and specified a max heap size of 4096m, which should theoretically allow your application to utilize up to 4 GB of memory. However, when you attempt to load a dataset of around 2GB, you receive an out-of-memory error. Upon investigation, you notice that your application isn't utilizing more than 1.2 GB of memory, leading to confusion and frustration.

Key Details:

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

Java Version: Java 8

Max Heap Size Set: 4096m

The Solution: Identifying Overrides in Your JNLP File

The root cause of the issue often lies in configuration settings within the JNLP file. Here’s how you can systematically troubleshoot and resolve this:

Step 1: Check the JNLP File Header

The first step in resolving an out-of-memory error is to carefully review the JNLP file's header. Look for any href attributes that might override your memory settings. For instance, if your JNLP file references another JNLP file for additional settings, it could inadvertently limit your application's memory usage.

What to Do:

Open your JNLP file in a text editor.

Locate the codebase or href attributes in the header section.

If these attributes reference another file, they might be imposing different memory settings.

Step 2: Remove Conflicting References

If you find that there are conflicting references, the simplest solution is to remove them or adjust them accordingly. By ensuring that your JNLP file has the correct memory parameters directly written in it, you can avoid unintended overrides.

Example:

Before:

After:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

Make sure that this setting remains unaltered by any external references.

Step 3: Validate and Test

Once you’ve made the necessary adjustments, save your changes and test the application again:

Download the updated JNLP file.

Launch the application and monitor memory usage through the task manager.

Ensure that it can successfully load the intended dataset without throwing an out-of-memory error.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can increase the memory allocation for your JNLP files and eliminate pesky out-of-memory errors. Always remember to check for overriding configurations that could limit your application's potential. With the right setup, your Java Web Start applications can thrive, effectively handling large datasets and providing a smooth user experience.
