Seam 2.0: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

[tonylmai]

Hello all,

I have just completed porting my applications from Seam 1.2.1GA to Seam 2.0 (yesterday build). I had experienced PermGen memory space problem and hoped that it would go away with Seam 2.0.

I now could not navigate around more than half a dozen pages before running into java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space problem. I had specified -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m for the process but that did not eliminate the problem.

I can't complete a round of demo without restarting the application several times. Any recommendation?

Thanks
-tony

If you go for even bigger permgen (512) it should work, but will die eventually after you re-deploy the app a few times.

The way I 'fixed' this was to change to jrockit, which does not have this problem.

I use (in Eclipse) the VM arguments for starting JBoss

-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m.

It seems to better.
