    GC Operations screen

    forumer

      I'd appreciate it if somebody can help me understand this screen: process view / memory:

      I ran my ejb app for a few minutes and am using the profiler. I see six lines in the "GC Operations" view. One of my applications classes is present "underneath" each of these lines. Following are the counts for each respective line:

      Quantity Release Quantity
      10 7
      29 0
      37 0
      37 0
      37 0
      37 0

      First of all, is it true that each line represents a new GC cycle in chronological order?

      Second, Does the number under "Quantity" represent cumulative number of objects created and the number it released under "Released Quantity"?

      When I click on "Creations" on the last line, I get the method name, 37 and 30.

      If this is true, does the above imply that 30 objects are leaking?

      It'd help a great deal to understand this screen.

      Thanks

          I print a counter value in the constructor of the class I mentioned in my previous post. There are only three instances of this class created during the exercise I went through, that profiler is profiling! Nowhere close to 37 or 30!

          Now I have no clue what the numbers in my previous post mean !!

          Any ideas?
