Greetings. AFAIK PermGenSpace is not TC related - its within the JVM and is where permanent memory related loads go - which includes classes loaded by ClassLoaders.
Additionally - AFAIK this PermGenSpace does NOT get cleared by the Garbage collector - and only a restart of the JVM will rid you of that used space. The default size of the pgs is 64mb I believe - to increase this you need to use the following JVM runtime switch: -XX:MaxPermSize=96m Where 96 is the max size in mb (as indicated by the m! :P). Hope that helps, Rgds, Carl -----Original Message----- From: Durfee, Bernard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 December 2005 20:25 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space I've seen the same thing with 5.5.12 running Confluence and JIRA. I needed to bounce Tomcat after making a bunch of changes to the JIRA workflow, which triggered lot's of processing. I assumed it was a JIRA problem, but maybe it is related to Tomcat 5.5.12? I haven't had the problem since, that was a few days ago.
