Hi Steve, Here are the answers to your questions, as provided by my customer. I hope the attached pstack and mdb sessions get through unscathed!
Cheers, -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA URLs: http://www.rite-group.com/rich http://www.linkedin.com/in/richteer ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:55:23 -0700 Thank you Rich, I am collecting the requested information. Can you help me please answer these questions better? Here are preliminary versions of the answers > Do you mean you've tried both 1.2.2 and 1.5? Is the failure identical > with > both jvms? Answer: The server would not start up with Java 1.5. The Solaris "native" version of 1.2.2 crashes on the first (?) execution of the Java code. > The ::stack should be correct. Have you looked at the core from the > global zone? It shouldn't matter, but it can't hurt. Also use pstack > on the core. Answer: I am attaching the results of pstack and MDB session to this email I did not look at the core from the global zone. I am not sure how to do that. > > Is it in hotspot (dynamcially generated) code? If so the function names > will > just be hex. Is it dying the jvm itself, or in jni code (java bindings to > native code provided by Vantive)? I don't know how to answer this question. The server uses libjvm.so rather than creates a JVM session (process) using fork() or exec(). > Is the application threaded? Yes, it is threaded. Thank you, Vlad P.S. Currently playing with MDB with a little success.
