OutofMemory PermGen error

[sapra]

To my process I have added 2 simple rule tasks. Since that time, our maven build is failing with permgen errors. if I remove the rules from the process, the build is fine. I am using spring deployment configuration and activiti 5.7, drools 5.3.0 Final.

the build invokes a test case that runs the process. And the test is run 4 times with different input.
I find that the process is executing but the build hits the memory issue soon after these tests are done.

Is there any known PermGen , classloader leak with drools ?

Thank you for the help.

well .. looks like it may not be a drools issue …

in my log file, I see this
Jan 17, 2012 1:53:10 AM org.activiti.engine.impl.ProcessEngineImpl <init>
INFO: ProcessEngine default created
Jan 17, 2012 1:53:10 AM org.activiti.engine.impl.ProcessEngineImpl <init>
INFO: ProcessEngine default created

Is this normal ? Why is the engine being initialized twice. Would it lead to excess class loading ?

thanks

Hi,

That you get the process engine startup message two times is not a good sign.
However the permgen error is probably related to the fact that it needs an Activiti Engine AND a Drool Engine when you're using rules.
So that could be easily solved by increasing the memory on your build server.

Best regards,
