My Web application is running on tomcat apache-tomcat-6.0.35 and It was working fine witout any issue.But today I show bellow exception in catalina.out log and was unable to login to the system.
Jul 9, 2013 2:40:15 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor process
SEVERE: Error processing request
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
I was under impression this exception can be ocuured when you deploy or redeploy a application. But I got this when the application is running without any issues. What could be the reason for this. Kindly advice
