Java heap space with MongoDB

Question

I use Tomcat, Eclipse, Java EE, MongoDB.

when I run my java program which is to connect to a mongoDB database and save some data, I get this error:

Exception in thread "http-bio-8080-exec-19"

EDIT

I have already changed the memory allowed by Eclipse, but I still have the same problem.

This is the code that causes the problem.

db.requestStart();
try 
{
    coll.insert(doc);
    DBObject err = db.getLastError();
} 
finally 
{
    db.requestDone();
}

PROBLEM SOLVED

The version of MongoDB was old and full of bug, I am now using version 2.8, and Now it's working, Thank you

'allowed by Eclipse' means? Did you add memory settings in run configurations > Arguments — titogeo, Aug 07 '12 at 09:48
what is `doc` ? add the first line in `try`, System.out.println(doc); — Dmitry Zagorulkin, Aug 07 '12 at 09:50
I got that, My question is where did you change the memory settings? just i am trying to understand. — titogeo, Aug 07 '12 at 10:03

try to increase heap size

JVM -- keys
 -Xms<size>        set initial Java heap size
 -Xmx<size>        set maximum Java heap size

Try to allow more memory for your JVM, with -Xmx1024m option (for example): How to deal with "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" error (64MB heap size)

How much data are you trying to save? I think you are trying to store large amount of data in one shot to MongoDB.

Edit these in Run Configurations For Run Configurations Right click your project root --> Run As--> Run Configurations

Add -Xms<size> and -Xmx<size> in VM arguments
