can you help what needed to be set to get the core file

Why is that core file owned by `root`? – Mat Sep 23 '11 at 14:58 — Mat, Sep 23 '11 at 14:58

Not too much versed about ulimit on AIX, but seems memory limit:

max memory size         (kbytes, -m) 32768

Seems not sufficient for Java JVM, so try increasing it. Typical JVM memory for a production server could stert at 512MB. Post about problem with memory limit in AIX 6.1 after rebooting.
