What is the best way to debug java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exceptions?
When this happens to our application, our app server (Weblogic) generates a heap dump file. Should we use the heap dump file? Should we generate a Java thread dump? What exactly is the difference?
Update: What is the best way to generate thread dumps? Is kill -3 (our app runs on Solaris) the best way to kill the app and generate a thread dump? Is there a way to generate the thread dump but not kill the app?
It looks like IBM provides a tool for analyzing those heap dumps: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/heaproots ; more at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21190476 .
Once you get a tool to look at the heap dump, look at any thread that was in the Running state in the thread stack. Its probably one of those that got the error. Sometimes the heap dump will tell you what thread had the error right at the top.
That should point you in the right direction. Then employ standard debugging techniques (logging, debugger, etc) to hone in on the problem. Use the Runtime class to get the current memory usage and log it as the method in or process in question executes.
