(and what is PermGen ?)
No one else seemed to answer this. PermGen is the chunk of memory which is allocated to the JVM in which to hold the 'prototypes' of the class files used. For a large web app with lots of classes (NOT object) it is common to have to radically increase this over the default (which, from memory, is 64M, to 192M or even 256M "to taste".)
It is possible to write a Java web application in such a way that during application reload some of the PermGen is not released. This is what we call a 'bug' but it can be difficult and frustrating to locate.
Try Googling -XX:MaxPermSize for more details. Regards Alan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
