Description Rostislav Svoboda 2013-10-04 13:19:43 UTC 
We hit java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space error on Windows with EAP 6.2.0 ER4 - it contains change for JVM parameters. BZ 956281 tracks full history for this change.

https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-eap/pull/440/files

-set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1303M -Xmx1303M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M"
+set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1G -Xmx1G"


java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space error happened during JBossWS CXF testsuite execution, server is started by calling standalone.bat without any additional parameters.
We didn't hit this problem with any prior EAP release.

Error example:

Comment 6 Dimitris Andreadis 2013-10-04 20:12:30 UTC 
@Tomaz, spot-on. The WS testsuite should override this.
Comment 8 Rostislav Svoboda 2013-10-07 12:44:56 UTC 
Windows 2008, Sun JDK, commit with -XX:MaxPermSize=256M should fix the problem
Comment 11 Petr Sakař 2013-10-09 12:35:31 UTC 
verified that EAP 6.2.0.ER5 on windows do not need to preset JAVA_OPTS and jbossws cxf testsuite do not fail because of java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
