I have an application deployed on Glassfish. Over time the number of loaded classes climbs into the millions and my permgen seems to rise.

To help troubleshoot I added the following to my jvm arguments. -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+TraceClassUnloading -XX:+TraceClassLoading

Now when watching the output, I see the same classes being loaded over and over again. Basically every time a web service is called and JAXB is used to process the xml.

[Loaded com.strikeiron.ZIPCodesInRadius$JaxbAccessorF_userID from JVM_DefineClass] [Loaded com.strikeiron.ZIPCodesInRadius$JaxbAccessorF_userID from JVM_DefineClass]

Does this indicate a leak? If so how do I resolve it?

java memory-leaks classloader permgen
