Greetings All, Could anyone tell me whether there is a memory leak detection tool for Tomcat or Sun JVM out there that can run in production environment?

Hi, For the BEA JRockit JVM there is a tools suite named Mission Control that contains a memory leak detection tool. The tools in the Mission Control suite are targeted for use in production environments. For futher information please see: The BEA JRockit Memory Leak Detector User Guide: http://e-docs.bea.com/jrockit/tools/jmcpdfs/mc3/mcmemleak3.pdf The Mission Control homepage: http://e-docs.bea.com/jrockit/tools/ My blogs and articles: http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/au/175 Regards, Marcus Hirt BEA JRockit Mission Control Team

Thanks for the links I have tries out this tool before and it is impresive. However, would you know of any tool that works with Tomcat and Sun JVM? Kingston Sew
