Since you're using 1.4.2, and you can't use jmap or visualvm, I'd suggest running your Java process with:

-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath="foo.out"

and after it runs out of memory, open foo.out with HPjmeter. This should help you identify the objects ballooning in your application.

I'd start with trying to understand Java's memory model.

Here's a stackoverflow question (858250) with lots of links explaining.

If you can't upgrade your JDK version, I suggest testing your application on another machine (real or virtual) with the latest 1.6 JDK, and then use the built in jvisualvm which is a really great tool for diagnosing problems like this.
