jsadebugd (original) (raw)

Description

The jsadebugd command attaches to a Java process or core file and acts as a debug server. Remote clients such as jstack, jmap, and jinfo can attach to the server through Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Before you start the jsadebugd command, start the RMI registry with the rmiregistry command as follows where $JAVA_HOME is the JDK installation directory:

rmiregistry -J-Xbootclasspath/p:$JAVA_HOME/lib/sajdi.jar

If the RMI registry was not started, then the jsadebugd command starts an RMI registry in a standard (1099) port internally. The debug server can be stopped by sending a SIGINT to it. To send a SIGINT press Ctrl+C.

Note: This utility is unsupported and may or may not be available in future releases of the JDK. In Windows Systems where dbgeng.dll is not present, Debugging Tools For Windows must be installed to have these tools working. The PATH environment variable should contain the location of jvm.dll used by the target process or the location from which the crash dump file was produced. For example, s et PATH=%JDK_HOME%\jre\bin\client;%PATH%.
