我有一个Hibernate+Eclipse RCP的组合，尝试使用-XX:MaxPermSize=512m和-XX:PermSize=512m，它似乎对我有用。

设置-XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m。稍后，您还可以尝试增加MaxPermSize。希望能管用。对我来说也是一样。只设置MaxPermSize对我没用。

我遇到了完全相同的问题，但不幸的是，建议的解决方案都不适合我。这个问题在部署过程中没有发生，我也没有进行任何热部署。

在我的例子中，这个问题每次都发生在我的web应用程序执行期间的同一时间点，同时(通过hibernate)连接到数据库。

这个链接(前面也提到过)提供了足够的内部组件来解决这个问题。将jdbc-(mysql)-driver从WEB-INF移到jre/lib/ext/文件夹中似乎已经解决了这个问题。这不是理想的解决方案，因为升级到更新的JRE需要重新安装驱动程序。 另一个可能导致类似问题的候选是log4j，因此您可能也想移动它

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.

First step in such case is to check whether the GC is allowed to unload classes from PermGen. The standard JVM is rather conservative in this regard – classes are born to live forever. So once loaded, classes stay in memory even if no code is using them anymore. This can become a problem when the application creates lots of classes dynamically and the generated classes are not needed for longer periods. In such a case, allowing the JVM to unload class definitions can be helpful. This can be achieved by adding just one configuration parameter to your startup scripts:

-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled

默认情况下，它被设置为false，因此要启用它，您需要显式地在Java选项中设置以下选项。如果你启用了CMSClassUnloadingEnabled, GC也会扫描PermGen并删除不再使用的类。请记住，此选项仅在UseConcMarkSweepGC也使用下面的选项启用时才有效。因此，当运行ParallelGC或串行GC时，请确保您已经通过指定将GC设置为CMS:

-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC

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。
