PermGen Space Error running BIRT reports [message #643801]

Im running into the PermGen space issue when I attempt to run Birt reports from within my application when I am running Tomcat within Eclipse.

My ini file is as follows:

-Xms512m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

However, Ive tried most ever configuration of heap Xms, Xmx and XX:MaxPermSize.

Eclipse Version: Helios Service Release 1
Build id: 20100917-0705
Birt: 2.6.1

java -version gives:
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

As soon as I starting running Birt reports I get the following error (or similar):

SEVERE: Error processing request
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

Is this starting another jvm to run tomcat on? You can add the jvm
setting to the catalina.bat file.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

I'm running Tomcat from within Eclipse which, I believe, means that it doesn't use the Catalina.bat file.

I'm starting my server from within Eclipse. Within Eclipse's Tomcat configuration I have the following VM arguments:

-Dcatalina.base=" C:\workspace_svn\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.c ore\tmp1 " -Dcatalina.home="C:\tomcat" -Dwtp.deploy=" C:\workspace_svn\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.c ore\tmp1\wtpwebapps " -Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\tomcat\endorsed" -Xmx1024m

The classpath tab the bootstrap entry is set to have the jdk1.6.0_22 for the JRE system library. Do you think it's also possible to reference the jvm in these Java options?

Can you add this to the line
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M

That seems to have solved it! I've been running Birt reports for the last 10 minutes and no PermGen issues when previously I was getting them almost instantly.

Thanks so much Jason.
