Out of memory heap error

[MOHAN]

Hi,
I am using Struts1.1, ,java1.4 for my application
When iam submitting the form, somtimes iam getting the error
Error is
HTTP Status 500 -
Root cause : java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Why it is coming ?
Is it system dependent or application dependent.
if application , where i have to configure this heap size.
Is it necessary to set the heap size,
Could any one can explain clearly about this error.

Thanks,

if you redeploy your application alot, the classloaders on some
application servers sometimes don't resolve and release memory
pointers completely. you may need to restart your server a few times
a day.
