Out of memory

I am doing some very nasty computation using java but it always gives me a java.lang.OutOfMemory Error,after this nothing on the GUI works.i think its ok to have that error but atleast things should work afterwards.

Please Advise

It's not okay to have that exception. My "Please Advise" is that you post code so we can at least see what you're trying to do.

Unless you're loading large amounts of data into memory (i.e. more than will fit in the memory allocated to the VM), this shouldn't happen. A common cause of this problem is some sort of out-of-control recursion. Try running your code with some sort of stack trace enabled so you can find at what point in your code the exception is being raised.

Hey sani,

What does this code do? are you doing lots of I/O? or creating many objects?
