Socket timed out Vs java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

Hi,

Really I confused on “Socket timed out”  Vs “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space” exception.

I had  a Socket timed out  exception and I increased  Socket timed out at soap ui preferences ~ 5 mins to fix it.

After some runs my project was throwning  “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen” excpetion.

I knew that “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen” thrown when soap ui is unable to create new native thread or enough heap space.

Could someone clarify me, is Socket timed out increase leading us into “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen” exception? is that true?   

I’m using

soapUI-Pro-5.0.0

OS: WS 2008 R2 64 bit

RAM : 16.0 GB
