Actually it suggests that Java is a great language. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?forum=176&thread=22447&cat=10 | JVM hangs after 2-3 days | Posted by: gsala, 2003 Aug. 28 03:04 PM | | After working 2-3 days , the JVM stops responding. | | Even kill -3 is not generating a Full thread dump. | | J2RE 1.3.1 IBM AIX build ca131-20030329 | (latest available for AIX) | | Additional info: | | I realized that one of the threads is consuming a lot of CPU | | I have the ps output with thread list, but I don't know how to map the | ps output thread numbers (same that pprof ) to a full thread dump | thread numbers . No one replied to gsala. Comment: An IBM JVM is both unnecessary and it might not last for more than 2-3 days and if it was a bug in user code then the kill -3 diagnostic would report that (unless occurring after the 520KB truncate point). --- There might be a PDF criticising Java later: http://www.acm.org/sigada/conf/sigada2003/ Sigada Dec 2003 "Ada and Real-Time Java: Cooperation, Competition, or Cohabitation?
