    Seam memory leaks in JBoss

    sherkan777

      Hi,
      I use seam 1.2.1 GA, JBoss 4.0.5, RichFaces, EJB 3.0, Java SUN 1.5.0jvm


      My app works in production environment. After jboss start, app work about 20-30hours and after that, I get perm gen space and server need to be restarted.


      Applications is little big, over 50 SFSB, mostly 95% beans, uses SESSION scope. I dont use conversation scope.
      My profiler don't show any wrongs, where could be memory any leak made by me.
      Today I spent few hours to find somethink in google about it, but I could't fin anythink about that, or how to fix it. Did u have same problem with seam? Have U got any ideas what to check, how to check, what could be wrong or anythink?
      For profiling I use JProfiler and JMeter to hit requests.


      Session live is set in web.xml to 30minutes for each user.

          Are you using hot deploy? I have found hot deploy to be very problematic when using the SUN JVM.


          Permgen space is the area the sun jvm uses to store loaded classes, you can increase the permgen space using:



           -XX:MaxPermSize=128m




          Switching to Jrockit may fix the problem, as it does not have permgen space.
