Re: [Geoserver-users] ArcSDE Backend:Please help, i'm stuck; Stilldin't get an ArcSDE connection

[<Alb...@hz...>]

Yes, i made the JVM settings in the tomcat (max heap space 1024MB - i think tomcat doesn't manage more than this). 
I know that it's hard to debug an application remotely ;o). I had to do so too with my ArcMap2SLD-app sometimes. 
For me these tests were successful, because finally i was able to connect to an ArcSDE backend. I think we will apply geoserver here. Now we know about the restrictions concerning SDE backend and we will align the use of geoserver with the given restrictions (which are o.k.). We are establishing that ArcSDE 9.2 instance with all data what was formerly running on 8.3 instance. If the problem will appear again, i will get back and inform you about it. If not let's say it was a problem of different versions.
Best wishes
