[jboss-user] JBOSS strange behaviour

[Steph]

Hi,

On a linux box (4Go RAM), on JBoss ** 3.3 ** launch,  aopproximatively
50 threads are started. Each one occupy 350 Mo...
After half of an hour, 75 threads are launched, and each one are
bigger and bigger (seen 700 Mo each...).

Please note that at this moment there is zero connection requested
(apache shutdown)...

$ uname -a
Linux [-censored-] 2.4.9-e.57summit #1 SMP Thu Dec 2 20:37:00 EST 2004
i686  unknown

In server.xml, minProcessor value is 5, maxProcessor value is 300...
here is the connector :
<Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
acceptCount="10" address="[-censored-]" bufferSize="2048"
compression="off" connectionLinger="-1" connectionTimeout="30000"
connectionUploadTimeout="300000" debug="0"
disableUploadTimeout="false" enableLookups="false"
maxKeepAliveRequests="100" maxProcessors="300" minProcessors="5"
port="9000" protocolHandlerClassName="org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler"
proxyPort="0" redirectPort="-1" scheme="http" secure="false"
serverSocketTimeout="0" tcpNoDelay="true"
useURIValidationHack="true"/>

Does JBoss 3.3 ignore those parameters ?
Do you know why JBoss should have this behaviour ?

Thanks for your help !!
