Hi Users, I am running Tomcat 7.0.77 on a linux server with openJDK 1.7.0.131 I am working on an issue where within 2-3 days Tomcat goes out of memory because of java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space . After monitoring permgen via jconsole and checking catalina logs we noticed the information messages
Jul 12, 2017 11:27:02 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig reload INFO: Reloading context [/abc] Jul 12, 2017 11:27:02 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext reload INFO: Reloading Context with name [/abc] has started I see web.xml within webapp/abc/WEB-INF has the same time stamp of that of the information message. This makes me deduce that since Tomcat sees the new time stamp on web.xml, it reloads this web-app. I, however, do not see the date/time stamp change on webapp/abc folder. Meaning the web application does not get deployed but it getting reloaded into Tomcat. How can i debug this further i find who is responsible in changing web.xml (If my analysis above is correct). Should adding a stack trace within tomcat code (from where "INFO: Reloading context ") will help? Or if there is another option please share with me. Thanks for your help in advance. -Utkarsh Dave
