re: running out of permgen memory when deploying/undeploying several times

There was a discussion on the tomcat list about running out of permgen
memory, and so I mentioned that it happens to me when I deploy and
undeploy my webapp several times in a fairly short period.

I am using Tomcat 5.5.9, jdk1.5 on Solaris 8, and when I copy the war
file into my webapps directory, somewhere after the 5th time I get an
error of out of memory and have to restart tomcat.

I am not necessarily doing anything special with my application, and
there is no problem when I just use the webapp, no leaks seem to be
present in my code.

Here is a suggestion by someone, and I am curious how I would do this,
or if this call would have to be made when beehive creates the classes:

"Does your web app use struts? You can always clean up resource by
adding Introspector.flushCaches(); in your context listener's
contextDestroyed method. Otherwise, you will have to go through your web
app carefully to find out if there is any memory leak."
