Answer 1

The amount of RAM your server has doesn't matter if you don't allocate that memory to your java process.

If you run your application with (any variant of) java -jar command, then add a maximum allowed memory parameter -xmx (check this question). If the application runs inside Tomcat (or any application server), you'll need to increase the maximum allowed memory of it (check its parameters and docs).
