Memory error in java

[Maya Angelou]

Hello,
I have an interest in my application because when I compile a number of times I have a message like java.lang.OutOfMemeryError. Instead of reallocating memory I'd like to know where have the problem.
In my class I declare an array (global variable) type

static String s [][][] = new String [50] [500] [50];

then I have a function that reads a file and calls a function that processes the lines of this file. In this function I assign values to my table. So, do you have a solution for this, if yes then I am interested. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
To reset your picture, you should rather make:
"stab = null;" => this indicates clearly the garbage collector that can destroy the object to recover his memory. Then, if you're just reading data in your files, and you have several identical strings (which is certainly the case given the volume of data), you should call the method "intern ()" on Your String before storing in your array. You earn a lot of room occupancy memory. Hope this will help you.

Hello,
You really need a 3-dimensional array of this size?
Your table is 50 * 50 * 500 or 1,250,000 of strings.
So:

1) it is not surprising that you had an OutOfMemory (the method "intern ()" I've suggested above should help you greatly: it allows you to use the same object for strings identical, and thus avoid unnecessary duplication of voluminous data in memory)

2) you have certainly a design problem at the base of your application.

Hello,
When you make a

s = new String [50] [500] [50]

a new memory space is allocated. The other area has more reference, but the time that the gc runs behind, the memory space. Before re-initialize your table, make a stab = null. You can explicitly call the garbage collector by Runtime.getRuntime().Gc(), but this method is used only in critical cases.

Hello,
I completely agree with the above post and I would like to add some more to it. It is up to you if you really need to store all the strings. If you over-sizing your table to make sure you have enough space, even when it allocates memory space even if your table is empty. Used instead dynamic collections like ArrayList. Hope this helps you and you solve your problem very soon. Best of Luck

Hello,
Have a look at the following example, this may help you

Public static String display(String[][][] s){
  String str = "";
  for(int a = 0; I <s.length; I + +){
    for(int b = 0J <s[a].lengthJ + +){
      for(int c = 0K <s[a][b].lengthK + +){
        str + = s[a][b][c] + "\ n";
    }
  }
  return str;
}
