How can i see used memory by object?

[Adam Daduev]

For the beginning i apologize for my English, I have the problem, I am using Jboss server, and through some time Jboss shows that the memory almost end, I can see total memory (through jmx console) which is used, but how i can see which object used most of memory part or see what objects and how much memory use?

JDK 6 comes with VisualVM which will show you heap usage by class. And there are also the jmap and jhat tools that come with the JDK.

VisualVM do not show heap usage, because Jboss server is locate remove, and run under Unix.
