How to configure the Maven-JBoss plugin to quit if an OutOfMemory error occurs?

Hi,

I’m using JBoss 7.1.3.Final on Mac 10.9.1 and trying to deploy WAR files using the JBoss-Maven plugin (plugin version 7.5.Final and Maven version 3.1.1).  Occasionally, when deploying using the “deploy” goal, things will hang indefinitely because of this error on the server …

  14:57:37,036 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] (MSC service thread 1-1) Context initialization failed: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

  14:57:37,036 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/myproject]] (MSC service thread 1-1) Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

[code]

  14:57:43,319 WARN  [org.jboss.modules] (MSC service thread 1-1) Failed to define class org.springframework.web.util.Log4jWebConfigurer in Module "deployment.myproject.war:main" from Service Module Loader: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

  14:57:52,738 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext] (MSC service thread 1-1) Context [/myproject] startup failed due to previous errors: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

  14:57:52,738 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext] (MSC service thread 1-1) Context [/myproject] startup failed due to previous errors

[/code]

Unless the server is restarted, the Maven build will just hang forever.  Is there a way I can configure the Maven build to timeout and the deploy to fail if an error like the above occurs on the server?

Thanks, - Dave

Hi

You have the following error

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

You can solve this problem with this parameter

- -XX:PermSize756m

Thanks, but that's not my question.  My question is, is there a way to prevent the plugin from hanging if the server dies with an OutOfMemory error?

I've noticed that repeated hot deploys to the server will eventually cause it to die with an OutOfMemory error, so it doesn't seem to matter how much I increase the Java memory parameters to, the server will eventually die after enough hot deploys.
