Default for SUN Java is 64 MB, which is not very much.
Most people do not set Xmx (and therefore are using < 64MB). Almost
any well designed app (including most frameworks) run comfortably
within it.
What empirical facts do you base this assessment on?
We provide private JVM Tomcat hosting, mostly to programmers. We
suggest that people start / test with 64MB and buy more memory as
needed. Many are using frameworks, hibernate, etc. Less than 10% need
more memory.
Most customers run one app per container. One customer that I'm
familiar with kept adding apps. On his 6th he needed to go to 128MB.
I don't know your customers.
But my experience is that Java EE boxes goes 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, ...
RAM and then appropriately Xmx settings (and 64 bit for anything
except 2 GB).
The OP was asking about Tomcat (a servlet only container not EE /
application).
Even a web container only can use a lot of memory.
I would not want to try and run LifeRay with Xmx 64m.
