Out of memory in Spring Boot application

Question

I have a spring boot application that can run out of memory when processing very large uploaded files. I'm encountering this when running ./gradlew bootRun and using embedded tomcat.

Is there a gradle option or some other configuration I can set in a TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory to set the maximum memory allowed for the spring boot application? I'd like to have something in a configuration file or the build.gradle file itself, so it would work for all developers.

I've tried setting org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx12000m in gradle.properties, but seems to have no effect.

I've tried setting it in gradle.properties (see edit), but maybe I'm not doing it right. — Stealth Rabbi

There are a few Gradle properties that can speed up your builds a bit.

 org.gradle.parallel=true
 org.gradle.daemon=true
 org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xms256m -Xmx1024m

If you want to add more memory to your tomcat you should change the following lines in setenv.sh script on your tomcat directory under bin/:

export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xms512m"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xmx8192m"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

(before your edit) OK, that I think is parsing it, becuase i'm getting a build error indicating that it's an invalid maximum heap size, for everything I try

Do I need quotes around the args or not? And, I believe I need more than 1024 megs, given then large files i'm uploading.
