Hi,

      I am using jboss 7.0.2, when i run the my application on jboss 7.0.2 it gives me the OutOfMemoryError .

here is stack trace...

13:57:36,807 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) Operation ("read-children-names") failed - address: (undefined): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

You run out of memory. Either you have a memory leak or the application just needs more memory than it's given. In the later case increasing -Xmx will fix it. Check out the OutOfMemoryError Section in the Troubleshooting Guide and Java HotSpot VM Options.

"GC overhaed limit exceeded" mean that the balance between application time and GC time reach a limit.

For better answers you should post a bit of  your environment (i.e. JVM settings, OS, Java version).

Also you might have a look to the JSTAT tool (see oracle Java pages, jstat is included in your java installation).

You can see whether the memory consumption of your app is growing continuosly or you are consuming the memory from the beginning and in case of more load you will have such OOME.
