Probably a memory leak then. A number of pieces of code in Sun's JRE can
leak class loaders (and hence all the classes and other data associated
with them). ThreadLocal is the common one. But java.beans and JDBC also
do it.

You can use a memory profiler to tell where the problem is. Googling can
give you more details.

It may be the permanent generation (code and interned strings) that is
running out. IIRC, -XX:MaxPermSize is the Sun option to increase that.

which java Profiler should i use?

and should i use the syntax java -XX:MaxPermSize=1024 ? (in jboss
command line run.bat)

If the problem is a memory leak as Tom suggested, no.
At least, not unless you consider that doubling the
memory might allow the app. to run (roughly) twice
as long before failing, and that makes for 'a solution'.

Other options that may help you avoid the real problem until it pops up in
production at the least opportune moment:

-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled

Huhh. Those options are new to me. I'll have to
look them up!

It's something I lifted from NetBeans's config file examples.

Options like this are nearly undocumented, perhaps for a reason.

Yes. Them non-standard options are always to
be treated with a grain of salt (here one release,
possibly gone the next?).
