> Studying the JVM, i understand that the permgen is never sweeped by GC. Not sure whether you mean that GC ignores PermGen, or just that in your particular situation, GC is not clearing out PermGen of what you think are dead classes. The former is definitely untrue, although that rumor has wandered around the Internet for many years. You should definitely move up to a current JVM - 6u23 if possible. Also, the latest versions of Tomcat 6.0 include memory leak detection and correction for several typical application abuses, so try that as well. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
