Problem

Tech: Out of Memory errors during build and deploy of MCSF 8.5 on 64-bit RHEL 5.3 with 64-bit JDK on JBOSS 4.3

Symptom

Build and deploy of MCSF 8.5 EAR on 64-bit RHEL with 64-bit JDK on JBoss, with or without Pre-compiled JSPs and Web Services, throws out of memory errors, specifically:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space (during Build) and
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space (during Deployment)

Error Message

Error during Build:

Resolving The Problem

To build the EAR successfully make the following changes to the said parameters:
 
IF pre-compiling JSPs and including Web Services, in sandbox.cfg (<INSTALL_DIR>/properties/sandbox.cfg):
 
JBOSS_PRECOMPILE_JSP=true
JBOSS_DIR=<JBOSS_HOME_Path>
EJB_3_ENABLED=true
 
Note: Optional depending on business need.  Refer to the Installation Guide 14.8.2.
 
For ANT compilation add/change the following parameters in sandbox.cfg:
 
ADDITIONAL_ANT_JAVA_TASK_ARGS=-XX\:MaxPermSize\=768m (Note: The \ is to escape the ':' and '=' symbols on a UNIX platform)
ADDITIONAL_ANT_COMPILER_TASK_ARGS=-Xms2048m -Xmx2560m
 
 
In build.properties.in (<INSTALL_DIR>/bin/build.properties.in):
 
jboss.PRECOMPILE_MAX_MEMORY=2560m
jboss.PRECOMPILE_MIN_MEMORY=512m
 
Run <INSTALL_DIR>/bin/setupfiles.sh/cmd to propagate the changes to the appropriate files bbefore the EAR is built.
 
Refer to the Installation Guide 14.8.4 for details on building EAR.
 
Note: If this is a one time activity and you do not need to build with Pre-compile JSPs option every time, then change the build.properties file instead of build.properties.in

To deploy the above built EAR,
 
set JAVA_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=768m -Xmx2560m -Xms2048m"
 
in the JBoss startup script.  Refer to the Installation Guide 14.7.
 
With the above guidelines, one should be able to successfully build and deploy an EAR on a 64-bit Linux OS with 64-bit JDK on JBoss.
