Re: JBoss-related question

Hi all,

Thanx for your comments.
Actually, yes, I've deployed without restarting JBoss a couple of times. It might be the cause.
I've restarted the server now and doing some general testing.

This might not solve the problem entirely though, since I tested stuff yesterday and all was fine.
But today when doing some more testing - the exception suddenly was thrown. Without any 'hot re-deployments' (without any deployment actually) since I tested yesterday.
Very strange.

Unfortunately, in my experience, increasing the PermGen space only delays
the problem. The underlying issue seems to be related to
classloading/unloading when "hot deploying" applications (tomcat, glassfish,
jetty, etc.). When a new version of the class is deployed, the old class is
unloaded, but apparently doesn't release its PermGen space.
