java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

[Eric W]

After running our site for years without any issues we have started getting the
following error.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

I increased the memory the JVM is allowed from 500M to 800M, but we continue
to have problems. We are running JRUN 4 on a Sun Solaris server.

Eric,
Hi - the real cause could be a couple of thousand things.

From the manual;
[Q]This error occurs when the JVM runs out of space in the permanent
generation heap. Since the defaults for the JVM are quite low, the first step
should be to increase the default using -XX:MaxPermSize.[/Q]

Have a look at http://wiki.caucho.com/Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError:_PermGen_space

Sorry I couldn't be of more help....

Simon
