Error description

  • If a Worklight application calls an adapter procedure, and a
    very large JSON payload is received in response, the
    application may crash with an Out Of Memory exception.  The
    size of the JSON payload that triggers this is dependent on the
    specific mobile device and mobile operating system in use. the
    amount of memory installed in the device, and various other
    factors.  When this situation occurs, it is not possible to
    catch the resulting exception and handle it gracefully,
    resulting in the unexpected termination of the application.
