Hi Folks I got this error from the Tomcat Web Application Manager after having stopped and started one of the applications multiple times. (This was after repeatedly deploying the application manually to attempt to find a bug that I could not reproduce in my IDE.) Once the error occurred, the server was extremely sluggish to respond even to remote desktop mouse and keyboard events.
FYI, I deploy the app by stopping it on the Tomcat web manager, deleting almost everything out of the app folder using file manager, copying the new files and folders in, then starting the app from the Tomcat manager. Here's the error: FAIL - Application at context path /someapp could not be started FAIL - Encountered exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space Is this likely due to a memory leak in my application? Or does it have something to do with me doing so many repeated deployments? Or perhaps simply from restarting the app so many times? I might try an experiment to see how many times I can stop/start the app before the error next occurs. OS: Win Server 2012 R2 Java: 1.6.0_24 (oops, need to upgrade that now) Tomcat: 6.0.37 (hmm... will need to upgrade soon-ish) -- Cris Berneburg, Lead Software Engineer, CACI
