How to fixed PermGen memory issue

I got the following error in browser when log into the system

java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.decorator.BaseWebAppDecorator.render(BaseWebAppDecorator.java:39) com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter.doFilter(SiteMeshFilter.java:84)

Solution

  • java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

    Two step solution.

    Step One : Alter your application launch configuration and add (or increase if present) the -XX:MaxPermSize parameter . This is a temporary step as if this is a live system most probably the extra memory will also get filled at some time in the future.But this will fix the error for now.

    Step two : Release unnecessary resources. Make sure all database connections are closed. Load and unload classes judiciously.restructure you program to work with small amounts of data at a time. Analyse and Fix memory leaks
