This error is easily reproducible.
1. create a web application TomcatJSPExample
2. run the profiler using Profile Main Project, select memory 
profiling, "Record Object Creation Only" and "Record Stack Traces for 
Allocations"
3. click on the Basic Arithmetic example in the browser
4. click Take Snapshot

Comment 14 Tomas Hurka 2006-01-17 14:31:39 UTC
To jchristi:
We were not able to reproduce it. Are you able to reproduce it? Can you provide steps how to reproduce it? 
Thanks.
Comment 15 jchristi 2006-01-17 15:11:37 UTC
I can easily reproduce it with our software running on top of JBoss running when
a load has been placed on it (its fairly busy).

Unfortunately I cannot send you our code.

I will attempt to create an easily reproducable case, but it seems that I've
seen this error for so long and seem to consistently have it happen at least 50%
the time when I try to take a memory snapshot on a busy system, that Sun would
have been able to come up with a busy app server test system for you that you
should be able to get this to happen fairly regularly.

This bug is pretty much the biggest problem that will cause many developers to
not be able to use the profiler on anything than on little programs and not on
full scale app server configurations... you loose alot of time (and patience)
when you have been collecting for hours and then go to take a snapshot, and your
whole JDK comes crashing down.

Believe me, that we are doing maximum to find out what is wrong. I myself spent large part of yesterday 
with this issue, but without being able to reproduce it, it is very hard to fix it. If you can help us find out 
how to reproduce it that will be very welcomed.  
Comment 19 Tomas Hurka 2006-01-18 10:51:53 UTC
One additional note. Can you try to run your application with 
-Xnoclassgc
to see if it fixes the issue or not. Thanks.

Comment 24 Jiri Sedlacek 2006-11-28 07:26:44 UTC
From a mailing list:

I don't have any instructions to reproduce this issue that aren't already there.
 But from that duplicate issue page
(http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=62919) I tried thurka's
suggestion of running my app with -Xnoclassgc.  And "record stack trace for
allocations" no longer results in an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.  Halleljuah!

I still don't understand how this works, but perhaps it's worth noting that I am
making heavy use of Jython in my app, and I am under the impression that Jython
makes heavy use of dynamically-generated classes.  So, maybe it stands to reason
that there will be a lot of Jython-made, dynamically-generated classes up for
garbage collection.  See, I noticed that if I tried to take a snapshot of my app
before I run any Jython in it, there was never a problem.
Comment 25 pbouche 2007-03-29 12:52:38 UTC
*** from mailing list:

I then tried the suggestion of thurka to disable loaded classes garbage 
collection via -Xnoclassgc (see the log for issue 62919). So no class that was 
ever loaded via the JVM is garbage collected. Now it works fine. Hallelujah!
When I try to get a snapshot without -Xnoclassgc the following message is 
printed into the console from the Profiler Agent:
Profiler Agent Warning: Invalid declaringClass obtained from jmethodID
Profiler Agent Warning: mId = 05CBDFDA, *mId = 0
Profiler Agent Warning: dCl = 06696344, *dCl = 1379252248

This is a consistent picture. The application I am profiling emitts a lot of 
dynamically generated classes and this seems to be the problem. When trying to 
get a stack trace and trying to get a method signature from a jmethodID for a 
dynamically emitted class which has been gargabe collected there seems to lie 
the problem (I am completely speculating because I really don't know what 
happens behing the scenes). Maybe JVMTI does not handle dynamically generated 
classes rightly? What does the Profiling Agent do when a "normal" class is 
garbage collected but later on a snapshot needs to be taken?
Comment 26 Tomas Hurka 2007-03-29 13:57:56 UTC
We should try to solve it in NetBeans Profiler 6.0. 
Comment 27 Alexander Kouznetsov 2007-08-29 17:21:52 UTC
Reproduced with JDK 1.5.0_06-b05 and JDK 1.5.0_12-b04. Was not able to reproduce with 1.6.0_02-b06.

Steps to reproduce with JDK 1.5.0
- Use NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200708270000) (Java EE) with clean userdir, having specified JDK 1.5 and removed
"-J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -J-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled" flags
- Perform Calibration
- Run another instance of IDE with customized clean userdir and parameters for direct attach like in the following command
"C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0 200708270000\bin\nb.exe" --userdir C:\Work\Temp\NBHome "-J-agentpath:C:\Program
Files\NetBeans 6.0 200708270000\profiler2\lib\deployed\jdk15\windows\profilerinterface.dll=C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0
200708270000\profiler2\lib,5140"
- Perform Attach Profiler action for External Application Memory Allocation Profiling, each 100 objects, Record stack
traces, Local Direct Attach to Application.
- Open VM Telemetry Overview window
- Wait till the profiled IDE fully start
- In profiled IDE invoke New Project
- Select Enterpise Category, Enterprise Application
- Click Next
- Click Finish
- Switch to profiler and perform take snapshot operations consequently until new created project is fully opened in
profiled IDE (close generated snapshots to avoid OutOfMemoryError)
- RESULT: Profiled IDE crashes with the following
...
Profiler Agent Warning: Invalid declaringClass obtained from jmethodID
Profiler Agent Warning: mId = 0CFEBDAA, *mId = 527741
Profiler Agent Warning: dCl = 02CF8DDC, *dCl = 570403152

Requesting waiver.
This bug is highly dependent on the JVM used. 
A viable workaround exists - use "-Xnoclassgc" option to avoid this problem.

summary:     bugfix #62919, do not invoke client.getMethodNamesForJMethodIds() in MemoryResultsSnapshot - method signatures for methodIds are 
already available in JMethodIdTable.getDefault() - this prevents calling getMethodNamesForJMethodIds for methods, which were garbage collected a long 
time ago and which can cause JVM crash
