Troubleshooting deployment issues
It is important to understand that deploying composites, in fact, consumes server
resources. If you deploy tens or hundreds of composites to the server, you will
see a direct impact on the size of the JVM heap (that is, the available heap size
will continue to go down as more and more composites are deployed within a
short period of time). We therefore recommend not deploying during expected
heavy or peak times.
Chapter 2 , Management of SOA Composite Applications describes how to use
ant to deploy composite projects, but here we will take a closer look at the entire
deployment process.
Knowing where to look
Let's observe the output of the ant deployment of the HelloWorld composite
as shown in the following snippet. As you can see, the deployment failed due to
a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space error.
