My webMethods Server keeps eating up more and more PermGen space over time ..

Hi guys … I have a problem with my MWS server … The problem started with me getting random OutOfMemory Exceptions for PermGen space at completely random times when I’m using my MWS application … So then I started monitoring the MWS server via jconsole, and I’ve found out that over time, the used PermGen space keeps increasing and increasing … It never comes down … It either stays the same, or increases …

For example, yesterday we started our MWS server at around 12 PM, and by 9 PM, the server was using about 121 MB … The max limit for PermGen right now is the default 128 MB …

Also, I then left the server running over night for about 10-11 hours, and when I came in the morning, it was still using the same 121 MB …

So what’s the problem here ? Isn’t garbage collection working or something ?

I guess a temporary solution would be to increase the maximum allowed PermGen space, but that would be a temporary fix, because eventually the server will approach that limit too … :frowning:
