JBoss Memory Profiling w/ Rational Purify

[smalson1]

Has anyone tried using Rational Purify to conduct memory profiling on JBoss? Purify is crashing during JBoss initialization and I wanted to know if there are work arounds. Environment:

Windows 2000 SP4
jboss-4.0.3SP1
rational Purify 2003.06.15.734.000
j2sdk1.4.2_04

command line:

added the following to java command line:
-XrunPureJVMPI:Purify -classpath .....Rational.jar

I receive the following error about 4 minutes into the run:

'Exception: MapViewOfFile failed while attempting to re-map the data for the run. An error was encountered processing the dataset (error=e29a000d). This run will be closed.'

I am assuming this is a Purify error and I am waiting on access to be able to submit a trouble ticket to Rational.

Thank You,

Steve

There are some other memory profiling tools, the "JBoss Profiler" comes to mind, but it obviously isn't as slick as Purify.

Given that your Purify (2003 I guess) predates JDK1.4.2 by quite a bit I wonder if it's even supported.
