Tomcat and Permgen space

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Hi all only basic knowledge with servers (only till deployment of resources )

Tomcat and Permgen space



I am frequently facing permgen space , (May be i had put up a lot of web applications)

I need to increase the permgen space .

"This sets the max permgen available to Tomcat at 256Mb of memory:-XX:MaxPermSize=256m" read somewhere but did not mention how to put this line inside catlina.bat .

Please tell me where and how in catilina.bat i should add this ??

Thanks in advance.

  set JAVA_OPTS=-XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M 

open your catalina.bat and put the above line in very first statement.

Hope this helps
