JBoss deploy 出现 OutOfMemoryError : PermGen space

最近在把在 tomcat 5.5 上开发的项目 deploy 到 JBoss 4.2 上时，在操作一段时间就会出现 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space，开始以为是代码中存在死循环的地方造成这样的问题，但是后来发现，出问题的地方都是随机的，并不是某一处造成这样的问题出现，怀疑是内存泄 露，通过增大 heap 内存的方法来尝试，依然不行，但是同样的问题却并没有在 tomcat 中出现过，难道是 JBoss 的问题？

在网上做了一番搜索得到一些相关的内容。

PermGen space的全称是Permanent Generation space,是指内存的永久保存区域OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space从表面上看就是内存益出，解决方法也一定是加大内存。说说为什么会内存益出：这一部分用于存放Class和Meta的信息,Class在被 Load的时候被放入PermGen space区域，它和和存放Instance的Heap区域不同,GC(Garbage Collection)不会在主程序运行期对PermGen space进行清理，所以如果你的APP会LOAD很多CLASS的话,就很可能出现PermGen space错误。这种错误常见在web服务器对JSP进行pre compile的时候。

改正方法，在 run.bat 中加入：-Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

因为项目中引用了很多的 jar 包，而这些 jar 包中的 class 信息会被 JBoss 的 class loader 加载到 PermGen space 区域，在 JVM 默认的情况下，该部分空间的大小只有 4M，在 jar 包非常多的情况下，显然是不够用的，所以通过 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m 指定最大值后即可解决问题。

   另外，如果 heap 内存不足出现 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space 时，可以通过 -Xmx512m 指定最大 heap 内存来解决这样的问题。

   run.bat样例如下：
