How to user TPTP to find Perm Gen leak? [message #120044]

Sorry my newbie question, but is there anyway to discovery perm gen leak
with TPTP. My web application is putting around 16bytes per minute in perm
memory doing simple requests to the same URL. I need discovery which kind
of object are filling my perm memory and where in my code is putting them!

I played with TPTP, using Memory statics but it didn't help enough.

Lucas,

I don't have a good answer, but as far as I understand it, it's likely
that this type of leak is related to class loading so perhaps by finding
java.lang.Class instances that are leaking you'll get to the root of the
problem. Of course I could be wrong...

Thanks Merks,

but the problem isn't class loader. I've monitored my app with jconsole
and the number of class loaded is constant! I think that is reflections
made by hibernate, jsf, jboss seam and my own app. But using jconsole and
TPTP memory statics couldn't help me to track which of them is the problem!

Lucas,

Just a thought. I believe that other JVMs like the IBM one don't have
permgen space and hence wouldn't have this type of problem. I.e., the
problem might well be a bug in the JVM itself for all I know. I can
imagine that providing support to track permgen space with it's a
JVM-specific implementation technique might prove difficult. I wonder
if there are any tools for tracking it...

try to track calls to String#intern()
