How to handle PermGen space exception in Tomcat?

Question

I am getting a PermGen Space Exception whenever I deploy my web application. I tried some JVm option in NetBeans but still unable to resolve the issue.

You should take a look at the questions already asked in this regard. 1) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/88235/how-to-deal-with-java-lang-outofmemoryerror-permgen-space-error 2) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/473011/recurring-permgen-in-tomcat-6 Then it is only a matter of configuring the Tomcat installation in Netbeans. — Vineet Reynolds, Sep 03 '09 at 06:29

Add this JVM parameter: -XX:MaxPermSize=128m (or 256m or 512m). Here's a related article as well that lists some other useful JVM options.

Did you try the other options as well in the article (-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC, -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled, -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled)? – Taylor Leese Sep 03 '09 at 06:51
I agree, Taylor L. Also, upping permgen just delays the inevitable. – opyate Dec 03 '09 at 12:25
