Java 1.5 - Application Memory Monitoring Made Easy

There is a new tool called Java Monitoring & Management Console in 1.5 edition of J2SE (available as %JDK_HOME%\bin\jconsole.exe). Simply set
JAVA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote

and start your Application Server or Servlet Container. Launch JConsole tool, and when asked for attaching, pick the appropriate process to attach.

[Pic 1 - Choose a Process to attach to.]

[Pic 2 - JConsole in Action]

I have a JDK 1.6 on W2K machine.

Here is a link from Sun's Java website.

This is interesting but not really much more than what existing OS tools can do. What I'm still waiting for is an easy way to check per object memory usage without latching JProfiler into the mix. That would be a dream.

@Rockstar.
Try the netbeans profiler or if you have resources to buy, yourkit profiler is a very good java profiler. you can try the software for 15 days.
Netbeans profiler is pretty good and should do most of your tasks

Rockstar: That not really true. OS tools cannot show the Java program, only the virtual machine as a whole, so they are of very limited use.

Installing Bugzilla on Windows

Bugzilla is the Bugs/Issues Tracking Tool from The Mozilla Organization. Version 2.18 is the latest stable release. There are couple of resources which guide a User installing Bugzilla on a Unix/linux machine. However, this entry describes a way to install Bugzilla on a Windows machine (W2K to be precise). This document guides you step by step through the installation process. First, get Administrative access to the machine on which you want to install Bugzilla. It should be a simple step. Usually, Users are given Administrative rights on Windows machine. However, if you dont have, contact your Administrator. Get Bugzilla Then download the Bugzilla from http://bugzilla.org/download.html . There are two ways of gettng it - through CVS or direct downloading the tar file. Remember there are no Zip files. However, any zip utility should be able to untar the Bugzilla. I download the tar file and untarred it using WinZip. I placed the untarred 'bugzilla' directory in my c: drive. So...

What are the different type of JDBC drivers?

There are four types of JDBC database driver: The JDBC/ODBC bridge driver (Type 1) A piece of native C-code that translates a JDBC call to an ODBC call. Use this driver for development, not for industrial-strength application environments. Note that you have to have an ODBC database driver manager + an ODBC database driver installed on the server in addition to the JDBC/ODBC bridge. Though useful for learning JDBC and quick testing, bridging solutions are rarely appropriate for production environments. Native API partly java driver (Type 2) A piece of native C-code that translates a java JDBC call to a native database call level API. Use this driver for development and deployment. Due to its native code, this driver can only be used by Java Applications with full computer access (i.e. not Applets). Type 2 drivers generally provide the best performance, but they require the installation of native libraries on clients that need to access the database. Applications using Type 2 drivers ...
