Maxmind DatabaseReader Java heap space

I try to use GeoLite2-City.mmdb in spring boot to get location data. To that effect, I created a bean like this in the configuration file:

        @Bean   
        public static synchronized DatabaseReader mmdbReader() throws IOException { 

               if ( reader != null ) {
                   return reader;
               }

                ResourceLoader resourceLoader = new DefaultResourceLoader();

                Resource resource = resourceLoader.getResource("classpath:static/mmdb/GeoLite2-City.mmdb");
                InputStream database = resource.getInputStream();

               reader = new DatabaseReader.Builder(database).fileMode(com.maxmind.db.Reader.FileMode.MEMORY)
                       .withCache(new CHMCache()).build(); 

           return reader;
        }

I also created a util function to retrieve the location like this:

     public static GeoLocation getLocation(HttpServletRequest request, DatabaseReader databaseReader) throws IOException, GeoIp2Exception{

      if(request.getRemoteAddr().equals("0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1") || request.getRemoteAddr().equals("127.0.0.1")) {
          return new GeoLocation("localhost", "Redmond", "USA", 47.673988, -122.121513);
      }

      InetAddress ipAddress = InetAddress.getByName(request.getRemoteAddr());

      CityResponse response = databaseReader.city(ipAddress);

      Country country = response.getCountry();
      City city = response.getCity();
      Location location = response.getLocation();

      return new GeoLocation(ipAddress.toString(), city.getName(), country.getName(), location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
      }

However, every time I deployed the app I get this error


 Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

    at com.microsoft.apie.configuration.ApplicationConfiguration.mmdbReader(ApplicationConfiguration.java:104)

My java settings are:

  -Xms512m -Xmx2048m

Can you please assist?

I solved this issue by doing this:

a. I removed the file GeoLite2-City.mmdb from the jar and put in the same folder than the jar

b. I refactored the method and this:

    @Bean  
    public static synchronized DatabaseReader mmdbReader() throws IOException { 

              if ( reader != null ) {
                  return reader;
              }

               /*ResourceLoader resourceLoader = new DefaultResourceLoader();

               Resource resource = resourceLoader.getResource("classpath:static/mmdb/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb");

               InputStream database = resource.getInputStream();
              */
               FileSystemResource resource = new FileSystemResource("/path/to/file/GeoLite2-City.mmdb");

              reader = new DatabaseReader.Builder(resource.getFile()).fileMode(com.maxmind.db.Reader.FileMode.MEMORY_MAPPED)
                      .withCache(new CHMCache()).build(); 

          return reader;
   }

c. Repackaged the app and it works!

Thanks Strelok for this suggestion
