你也可以通过以下方法来解决这个问题:

rm -rf <tomcat-dir>/work/* <tomcat-dir>/temp/*

清除工作目录和临时目录将使Tomcat重新启动。

尝试-XX:MaxPermSize=256m，如果仍然存在，尝试-XX:MaxPermSize=512m

他们说Tomcat的最新版本(6.0.28或6.0.29)可以更好地处理重新部署servlet的任务。

App server PermGen errors that happen after multiple deployments are most likely caused by references held by the container into your old apps' classloaders. For example, using a custom log level class will cause references to be held by the app server's classloader. You can detect these inter-classloader leaks by using modern (JDK6+) JVM analysis tools such as jmap and jhat to look at which classes continue to be held in your app, and redesigning or eliminating their use. Usual suspects are databases, loggers, and other base-framework-level libraries.

参见类加载器泄漏:可怕的“java.lang。OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space”异常，特别是它的后续帖子。

我尝试了几个答案，最终完成工作的唯一一件事是在pom中的编译器插件的配置:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <fork>true</fork>
        <meminitial>128m</meminitial>
        <maxmem>512m</maxmem>
        <source>1.6</source>
        <target>1.6</target>
        <!-- prevent PermGen space out of memory exception -->
        <!-- <argLine>-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m</argLine> -->
    </configuration>
</plugin>

希望这一点能有所帮助。

如果有人在netbeans中遇到同样的错误，那么下面是我解决它的方法。

在Netbeans:

进入服务选项卡——>在服务器右侧——>选择属性——>进入平台选项卡——>在虚拟机内部选项类型-Xms1024m

在我的情况下，我给了-Xms4096m
