I'm analyzing java application deployed in Jboss 5.1 container in RHEL 6.
Ηeap dump of my application, when analyzed through Eclipse Mat, suggests that about 83% of the heap memory is occupied by java.land.Thread
instance. Can you please help me understand if this signifies a memory leak in the application?
Result from Eclipse MAT:
Problem Suspect 1
4,184 instances of "java.lang.Thread", loaded by "<system class loader>" occupy 2,821,477,400 (83.40%) bytes.
Keywords
java.lang.Thread
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
