  Why does the memory usage increase when I redeploy a web application?
Because the Classloader (and the Class objects it loaded) cannot be
recycled. They are stored in the permanent heap generation by the JVM,
and when you redepoy a new class loader is created, which loads another
copy of all these classes. This can cause OufOfMemoryErrors eventually.

I found it at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/deployment.html

I am trying to understand why I run out of permanent memory when I
redeploy my beehive-based webapp, after about the 10th redeployment.

Thanx.
