.my tomcat server has around 128MB runtime memory

Is that 128 MiB just for permagen space or total JVM memory? Unless you explicitly specify permagen size, a small number like I guess 64 MiB is picked up (depending on your exact JDK version, OS version/flavour etc.) which is certainly not enough for "enterprise" Java. So to be clear, permagen memory settings are different from the normal Java heap settings.

For Java versions < JDK 7, the permagen space contains the loaded classes, string pools and other metadata. When you start up a web container, it not only loads the JDK classes but also classes from the Tomcat JAR files which is by no means a small number.

Check the command line in Tomcat you are using to spawn/start the server and search around (using Google) ways to configure permagen for Tomcat.
