Hi ,
using BIRT version 2.2.2.

We have integrated the report engine in our web application.
We have recently built a page where is possible to monitor the status of the report engine and/or start it or shut it down with a mouse click.

I've used the same API call suggested in this link .

If I profile the webApp when I start the report engine ,using Platform.startup(config) and factory.createReportEngine(config); I notice that the used permgen increases by some space, and that's ok , it's expected. When I destroy the report engine and shutdown the platform , the permgen increase again .
If I force a gc after platform shutdown the permgen doesn't decrease.

And now there is the real issue : If I start again the report engine the permgen increase again the same of the first time I've started it up.
If I repeat the operation for a lot of times I fill the permgenspace with the classic error , despite its size.....
What I am doing wrong ?

Thanks for any response.

Alessio

Alessio,

Can you test this with BIRT 2.5.2?
or email me the code to test?

Hi Jason , thank you for your response.
I've tried with version 2.5.2 as you suggested , and the problem is vanished. All data also in the permgen space is succsfully dereferenced.
I've tried with the below working example.

Thanks again.

Alessio
