TAG PATCHED (SAK-19431, r84226)

I do not as a rule patch tags.  However, after starting up the demo earlier this morning and creating a project site with all tools, the OSP wizards tool triggered an OutofMemoryError error.

2010-11-03 09:04:44,945 ERROR http-8080-Processor25 org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/osp-wizard-tool].[osp.wizard] - Servlet.service() for servlet osp.wizard threw exception
2010-11-03 09:04:54,323  WARN http-8080-Processor25 org.sakaiproject.util.RequestFilter - Servlet execution threw an exception
2010-11-03 09:04:59,948 ERROR http-8080-Processor25 org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/portal].[sakai.portal.charon] - Servlet.service() for servlet sakai.portal.charon threw exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

The demo's start-sakai.sh/bat MaxPermSize was set to: -XX:MaxPermSize=256m.  I increased MaxPermSize to 512m, restarted the demo and the wizards tool appears happy.  I've patched trunk, 2.8.x and the sakai-2.8.0-a03 tag (r84226).

See SAK-19431 for more details.  I encourage the OSP team to review this issue and refine further as necessary the Demo's JAVA_OPTS and CATALINA_OPTS settings. 


NEXT QA TAG

Tues, 16 November 2010

We are working on a two-week release cycle.  Developers working on 2.8 should calibrate their bug fix clocks accordingly.

Cheers,

Anthony
