See my other posts, I did re-read the tuning guide and it specifically states PermGen is part of Heap.

I admit not having re-read the memory tuning guide in a while (maybe since 1.4 days).

And I'm under the impression from multiple re-reads of the Java tuning docs that ALL generations are drawn from the heap, including PermGen. Yes, using Jconsole or better is what he needs to do. Bruce- Here is another good read.

Again, use JConsole or equivalent to verify that the requested heap sizes are being used. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
