Hello Shalini,
Many thanks for your detailed reply.
We are running the application on unix and as such all we get is a core dump and the application server restarts.
I have spoken to IBM regarding this... and believe that it will be a while before I get a response from them as this is not a 'System Down' level of criticality. So, I am glad that you have offered your advice here.
I did read the bits abt the impact on performance and that is what was definitely worrying me.
I know for sure which method causes this error to crop up. It is always the same one. Here's a brief desc. of what the method does:
- parse an XML file.
- recursively call all the child nodes and create the DOM model and a
java bean representation of all the elements.
We do this because of some specific needs in the application.
It is always in the parse method that it fails!
You mentioned a possibility of not enabling JIT just for this class? How can that be done?
Any details on this would be thankfully receieved ;-) .
many thanks for your reply.
best regards,
prasad.
