Heap Dump from Solaris gcore jdk 1.4.2.11 [message #490804]

Is it possible to convert a solaris core dump of a Weblogic 8.1 managed server process running with JDK 1.4.2-11 into a heap map that can be read by MAT? This jdk does not support the -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemory option and attaching jmap to the running pid takes too long. Quicker to use gcore to create a core dump file and then run some tool against that to convert to a heap dump.

Grateful for any suggestions on how to proceed.

Thanks in advance.
Bill

I just googled a little bit. There seems to be some way to use jmap on a core file. May be this would be the answer for you. However, I never tried it myself...

Should be something like
jmap -heap:format=b java corefile

here a description (but for java 6)

Looking at some bugs, this should be also available in 1.4.something

Hope this helps.
