out of PermGen Space

[Parm Lehal]

I am  trying to test ofbiz 10.04.02 and whenever I try to get a PDF
document shown (e.g. an invoice etc) ofbiz. throws out of PermGen space
error. I have changed the PermSpace to be 1024m but it still fails. What
may be causing it? The setup has only the demo data loaded running against
mysql database.

[Mandeep Sidhu]

when I encountered the PermSpace issue, I found out (with the help of Mike
:)) that the job scheduler running in the background was the the culprit.

try select * from job_sandbox; from your database to see the number of
entries there.

Kindly check if some of them have not been finished yet (check for job
status), they might be running in the background, I suggest you clean up
this table if you want to give some space to other jobs.

I don't think it is caused my this in my case because even after clearing
all the jobs I get the PermGen space error as soon as I try to get a pdf.
It used to work just fine...No settings were changed and all of a sudden
this behavior...... Something seems to be fishy about FOP here. I get the
error  as soon as I try to create a PDF even it is the first step after
starting the server.

Hi Parm,

Please try with 1024M (not 1024m).

I tried that too but it has no effect. Now the crash is just arbitrary. I
suspect that it is combination of java +linux that has fault somewhere.  A
few weeks ago I was using JDK 1.6.0_35 on Fedora 17 and it was crashing in
seconds.  I submitted a bug for that to Oracle ( *Bug ID:* 7200414-
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7200414 ). I thought it
may be a combination of Hardware, Linux and java so I tried various
combinations and went all the way back to Fedora 12 on a brand new HP
desktop (HP pro -Intel I7+8G RAM) with JDK 1.6.0_25 64 bit and now I am
facing this arbitrary out of PermGen Space. I wonder why ....

Parminder Lehal

Can you post the error?

Also, are you sure that the user under which ofbiz runs OWNS the entire
directory tree where ofbiz resides?  For instance, if some directories are
owned by root that would cause issues.

Just my 2 cents:

I suspect it has something to do with XML processing. Maybe XML parsing
errors accumulating and taking up memory?

Can't substantiate that claim, but I noticed that on one particular
OFBiz implementation [10.x based] where XML is used in ways I've never
seen before - this happens often.

I work and test on a pretty robust set up (MAC Dual Core + 8 GBytes of
memory) and under certain circumstances, when there are lots of errors
being thrown in succession, I get the PermGen space error without fail -
regardless of the settings.

Best Regards,
Ruth

If you are not stuck to 10.04 why not trying with 11.04?

I know I can try 12.04 or 11.04 but since  10.04 is the "most stable"
production version, I wanted to go with it  and I need to know  why it is
behaving like this. This issue aside, I am really impressed by the level of
community support in this mailing list.

There have been improvements regarding permgen use after 10.04... That's why I suggest that...
