This section provides a tutorial example on how to start 'jhat' as a Web server on a Java heap dump file allowing you to browse Java heap objects.
In an earlier tutorial example, I created a Java heap dump file with the "jmap" tool
on my GarbageCollection.java program. The heap dump file is named as GarbageCollection.map.
Now I want to try to run the "jhat" Web server on this dump file and browse the heap dump
with a Web browser.
1. Run the "jhat" command with default options:
C:\herong>\Progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin\jhat GarbageCollection.map
Reading from GarbageCollection.map...
Dump file created Jan 1 00:08:10 EDT 2008
Snapshot read, resolving...
Resolving 67324 objects...
Chasing references, expect 13 dots.............
Eliminating duplicate references.............
Snapshot resolved.
Started HTTP server on port 7000
Server is ready.
2. Run a Web browser with http://localhost:7000.
The "jhat" heap dump file server page shows up:
See next sections on how to use "jhat" Web server to browse heap objects.
