However, the thread dump does provide the operating system thread id (labelled "nid"), and you can use that to compare to the output of OS tools that provide thread usage (such as ps -m). Note that in a Java EE environment where the web or app server maintains a thread pool to work on requests that thread usage information probably does not mean all that much. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/601877#601877] Start a new discussion in Performance Tuning at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
