In my application there are over a thousands of jsp pages existing. So, consequently over a period of time we run out of perm gen space. I have read that classes are only unloaded if there are no references to the classes or the classloader and both can be removed.
>From my understanding, in Tomcat, the webapp class loader would unload classes only when the application is either un-deployed or redeployed. If there is no possibility to change the design of the application , please guide as to how to avoid the issue of perm gen space when the number of jsp's accessed is huge?. Would creating custom class loader help - how would we then decide when to remove classes from the custom classloader and on what basis would we loading our jsp's from it?.Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Class-unloading-in-tomcat---PermGen-Space-tp29707680p29707680.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
