As a new tomcat user and still somewhat junior java/jsf developer, I
restart tomcat whenever I have new software changes to
deploy-and-want-to-run-on the production server. sometimes, I
deploy-and-restart multiple times per day, but sometimes, I'm able to let
tomcat/tomee run for days without restart.

I too, have not experienced any OOME, and recently, per what I have
seen-and-read of other (more senior java developers than myself), I have
decreased memory settings in my java options on tomcat7w.exe (see below).

-Xmx1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=384m
-XX:+UseTLAB
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled

On Java tab of tomcat7w.exe, have the following specified:

Initial memory pool = 256
Maximum memory pool =
Thread stack size   =


My Windows 2008 R2 Server (64bit 32GB RAM) never seems to get higher than
1% CPU, and I think I do have memory leaks somewhere in the app, but FWIW
(in heap dump in java visual vm), the memory leaks seem to be tomee leaks.
In Java Visual VM, I do see the memory grow over time, as the app is used
(without a tomcat restart or re-deploy of app and then restart tomcat), but
I still have not seen OOME...'yet'.

I should leave the server up and running without restarting tomcat, but
when I need to deploy new software changes, i can't wait to deploy. :)

My apologies, not trying to hijack the thread. just sharing my response to
your comments.

Howard
