Out of memory permgen space when running as service

I have Jboss 7.1.1 AS and when I run it as service, after some time when I use jasper reports I get exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

Notice that this does not happen at all when I run it from Jboss developer studio.

What should I do ?

Solution

  • You can try to raise the PermSize for your JBoss in the standalone.conf.bat that's inside the bin folder of your server.

    Find set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms64M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M" and change the MaxPermSize as per your requirement.

    I don't know much about developer studio, but it probably sets the PermGem for the server ignoring the standalone.conf.bat (with a higher value), thus your report works.

    BUT, you need to search for any leaks in your report that may be causing that OutOfMemoryError.

    Hope it helps.
