Sadly, the same problem persists using Axis 1.3, 1.4 or Axis2 1.0. -----Original Message----- From: Guus der Kinderen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 4:15 PM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: Axis not unloading from PermGen Dear List, I'm hoping someone can help me with the (memory-related) problem that we're experiencing. We're using a Java-based server application that lets us create and use plugins. We've written a plugin that makes use of the Jetty Servlet engine provided by that server application. In our plugin, we deploy Axis in that Jetty instance. Finally, we deploy SOAP services using the AdminClient. Those services work fine, life is good. Lately, we've been experiencing OutOfMemoryExceptions, indicating that the permanent generation of our JVM has reached its maximum capacity. As a workaround, we've increased our maximum PermGen space. After that, we searched for the cause of PermGen maxing out. We've found that the Jetty/Axis plugin doesn't unload from PermGen (as other plugins do) after it has been shutdown. After a reload, new space is allocated in PermGen, causing it to fill up. After debugging our plugin, we've found that using a HelloWorld WebApp instead of Axis causes the plugin to unload from PermGen just fine - The plugin won't unload when we use Axis though. We've tried to unload all Axis services and handlers before we unload the Jetty context in which Axis is running, but this doesn't solve our problem. Can anyone suggest what to try next?
