Hi,
To give you brief context, we have an application deployed on WebSphere 4.0.x and using HotSpot JVM 1.3.1.
This application is crashing with SIGABRT (in exceptions.cpp line no. 217). We want to understand the
pattern and what the threads where doing during the crash.
While searching through some documents on Internet I come across this option - -XX:+ShowMessageBoxOnError. The description of this option suggest that before crash, the JVM will wait for user input and at that time we can take
thread dump of the process.
What I am wondering is :
1) Has anyone used this option before?
2) Is it possible to use this option on Solaris 8 character mode (without X-Client).
3) Where will it show up the message "Do you want to debug?" - on standard output?
4) How will it behave for background application?
Is there any better way to achieve what I am trying to achive with this option.
Please suggest.
Thanks In Advance.
