Answer 1

You may have to increase the memory of the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). You can only do this if/when you start the JVM.

It is a non-standard option, and may change without notice. When you start the JVM, use the -Xmx like
java -Xmx 80M
to get a JVM with 80 Mega Bytes. It has been a while since I used this command, so it may be 80m

To see help type 'java -X', it is not much help.

Answer 2

Where are you getting the value for your parameter 'myString", if you are reading it off a file (if not, is then is it possible to read it off the file) pass it as a stream instead of bytes.
