Java garbage collection is occuring every minute or hour on JBoss EAP

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I'm using JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) and finding that the Garbage Collection(GC) is taking place every minute. Why is this?
  • We are experiencing a full GC every hour across all of our applications running on JBoss.
  • Why is FULL GC being triggered in spite of enough space available in the JVM. It is is not behaving as expected on the Linux OS.

Environment

  • JBoss EAP
  • OpenJDK
  • Sun JDK
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
