Hi all.

I am facing with a great problem.

When I execute my test with Arquillian (just Arquillian and also Arquillian Persistence), my test executes ok. Also If I execute ir as "Run As" JUnit Test in Eclipse.

When I execute all the tests in my project, hitting Run As Junit over the project in Eclipse, almost all the test works fine, but I get this error in one test:

Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

It means that I have completely fill my Pergem with the classloader. Why this? Because I have executed a lot of test with Arquillian. Each test deploys one new JAR or WAR. With the admin process manager of Windows I have seen that the java process of Arquillian grows up till 256 MB. At this point it crashed, don`t grows up any more and from this moment al the tests with Arquillian fail.

If I run mvn test it is worst, because fail much more tests.

I suppose that the gargabe collector isn`t working amongs tests, so the classes remains in the memory.

So, since ARQUILLIAN deploys always a new war, how can I solve this problem?

1. Can I have only one super war deployed in the beginning and use the same till the end?

2. Can I invoke GC just after each test, so I can free the memory? I have tried this without success, because after the first war, then the others don`t get deployed.

<property name="maxTestClassesBeforeRestart">1</property>

3. Can I have same war deployed for several tests?

What I need is some kind of hint or document to test in large applications. I have googled a lot and I don`t find the proper information.

JDK6.

Glassfish Embedded 3.1.2.2

Arquillian 1.1.3.Final (if I user 1.1.4.Final, then if I have some kind of error in the injection of CDI beans, then arquillian doesn`t show me the error   Re: Injecting EJB into tests )

Arquillian Persistence 1.0.0.Alpha6.

Regards in advantaje.
