java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

You are seeing this page because development mode is enabled. Development mode, or devMode, enables extra debugging behaviors and reports to assist developers. To disable this mode, set:
  struts.devMode=false
in your WEB-INF/classes/struts.properties file.

I'm not familiar with Tomcat, Thank you ALL!

If you want to add more memory to your tomcat you should change the following lines in setenv.sh script on your tomcat directory under bin/:

export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xms512m"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xmx8192m"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

-If you run tomcat for than 10 pc, try config like that: Tomcat8w.exe -> java tab -> set value(You can increase value to run.): Initial memory: 512, Max memory: 1024, Thread Stack: 2000

-If 1-3pc, with 8gb ram add in Java options: -XX:MaxpermSize=4096m Initial memory: 4096, Max memory: 4096, Thread Stack: 2048
