We are runing jboss2.4.6&tomcat4.02 on solaris2.6-8 (will upgrade to 3.2.1 soon). Periodically, we would notice the jboss JVM suddenly consume more 70% of the cpu time, however, we could not find any thing suspicious from the server log. We even tried to redeploy or restart the ears, wars and mbeans (not 100% complete), still no good. The symptom is that once this started, it will go like this forever.
We have web-apps, mdbs and home-made mbeans(xadatasources, ftp service, etc) installed in jboss.
My question is - Is there any way to check the threads in the JVM, so we can decide who gets hold of the cpu? Anybody saw the similiar problems?
Thanks in advance,

We had the same problem and found that it was the JMX timer.
