It is obviously physically impossible for the client and server to
share memory. They are different machines. In the case where they're
on the same host, they're still different virtual machines.
Who said anything about physical memory?
Seriously? That's your direction on this? Are you sure you don't
want to step back and think about that?
Hint: YOU DID!
This is Oracle's Webstart. It connects 2 machines.
Two separate machines that don't influence each other's memory
allocations.
You got an OutOfMemoryError (OOME). That is a function of physical
memory, in case you hadn't noticed.
Is it? The API for OutOfMemoryError just references "memory", and
it seems to me that from an operating-system perspective that would
mean virtual memory rather than physical memory.
A nitpick, maybe, but ....

It's physical enough.
