Makes me pine for a simple, light-weight J2EE architecture.
Add in WebSphere MQ and the normal Windows cruft, and 1Gb is barely enough memory for this job. As Keith mentioned, we’re moving from WebSphere Express to Jetty. We’re also changing from Hypersonic SQL to MS SQL Server, which saves us another 30 to 50Mb.
