JBoss Performance

[vishal_2100]

I have a simple Java/JSP application in which I have compiled all the JSPs using Jakarta ANT 1.5 into servlets and placed them in the WEB-INF/classes folder. I have modified my web.xml file accordingly and put all the servlet mapping entries in the web.xml file.

Now the main problem is that when JBoss starts it by default loads all the servlets into the memory. I have around 7000 servlet files which when loaded into the memory gives "Out of Memory" error after some time.
It does not happen in Tomcat since Tomcat does not load all the servlets during startup.

Can anyone please suggest me how to prevent loading of all the servlets in the memory at the time of startup??

Are you running out of heap memory or out of permgen space?

P.S. It is always a good idea to post the exact error message, along with the stack trace.

Oh, and what version of JBossAS?

Actually I m running out of permgen space.
And I am running it on JBoss 4.0.4GA.

Can you suggest how to overcome this problem??

Thanks and Regards,
