Re: [PLUG] Good practices to restart tomcat

["Tharun Kumar Allu" <tharun.allu@gmail.com>]

This is exactly my point but the current setup when I joined this company has a restarting of tomcat every night and the developers are asking to do it for the new environment I built. I would like to read some good references on garbage collection and resource reclaiming before I discuss it with the java team and my manager.
I also am getting PermGen error and it was being caused by multiple deployments I think in the development environment.
Do you guys have a blog or reference where I can read the possible things that I should take care of when working with tomcat?
Thanks

Restarting every day? Is that as ridiculous as I think it is?

Subject: [PLUG] Good practices to restart tomcat

I was just wondering what people do regarding restarting tomcat to reclaim memory or unreferenced context.
Here in our production environment it was setup to restart every day but I think every day is not required maybe every month or even more. But if any one here in the list has experience what could possibly go wrong if we do not restart the application for a long time and what is a good time interval for restarting tomcat servers?

Thanks
