[chef] Tomcat Perm-Gen OutOfMemoryErrors and restarting

[Edward Sargisson < >]

Hi all,
There was a discussion weeks back about restarting Tomcat after every
deploy to prevent PermGen OutOfMemoryErrors.

It trigger a memory about what causes these so here are some resources:

I have no idea if these actually work but may help.

Cheers,
Edward
