Coba pindahkan driver Oracle JDBC ke direktori lib Tomcat alih-alih berada di dalam folder lib aplikasi. Sepertinya OracleDiagnosabilityMBean menguasai Catalina.
Sunting:Karena Anda tidak memiliki kendali atas Tomcat, coba bungkus tempat kelas Oracle dimuat seperti itu (kecuali ganti AppContext untuk init Oracle Anda):

//somewhere in application startup, e.g. the ServletContextListener
try {
final ClassLoader active = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
try {
//Find the root classloader
ClassLoader root = active;
while (root.getParent() != null) {
root = root.getParent();
}
//Temporarily make the root class loader the active class loader
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(root);
//Force the AppContext singleton to be created and initialized
sun.awt.AppContext.getAppContext();
} finally {
//restore the class loader
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(active);
}
} catch ( Throwable t) {
//Carry on if we get an error
LOG.warning("Failed to address PermGen leak");
}
