I can use Process Explorer at the windows level to get the Windows stack of what appears to be the runaway thread: ntkrnlpa.exe+0x8db2e ntkrnlpa.exe+0x29a82 ntkrnlpa.exe+0x331a4 hal.dll+0x6199 hal.dll+0x63d9 hal.dll+0x6577 hal.dll+0x3902 jvm.dll!AsyncGetCallTrace+0x3baf0
The thread is using about 25% CPU unless it gives it up for some other threads. Anyway to get a TD from jconsole? > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeffrey Janner [mailto:jeffrey.jan...@polydyne.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 11:35 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Error getting Thread dump on Windows > > Tomcat 5.5.17 (running as a service) > > Java JDK 1.5.0_06 (yes, I know, really old) > > Windows Server 2003 SP2 (up to date) > > > > I have a Tomcat instance (one of many) that appears to have some > hung/looping threads. > > I tried to use the system tray to take a thread dump (right-click, pick > thread dump) and I get an odd error from Windows: > > Window title: Application System Error > > Window contents: The system cannot file the file specified.
