Out of Memory Error

[shades443]

Hi,

I keep getting the error below:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError even after increasing my heap size.
XML-Flattener.txt

Is there a limit to the number of nested levels?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes indeed, the deeper you nest the structure and the more 'peer' levels to each nested structure you have the higher the demand on memory becomes. An exact limit is hard to define given the richness and variety of XML can take on. Certainly for the use-case I originally develop this for, nesting was no more then about a dozen so levels.

Would be interested to follow up on this. Not sure if you would be able to share with me your XML (or at least a 'masked' version of your XML), and perhaps your -Xmx memory settings or a heap dump?

Regards,
