Categorizing the problem

During problem determination, one of the first objectives is to identify the most probable area where the problem originates.

Many problems that seem to be a Java™ problem originate elsewhere. Areas where problems can arise include:

• The JVM itself
• Native code
• Java applications
• An operating system or system resource
• A subsystem (such as database code)
• Hardware

You might need different tools and different diagnostic information to solve problems in each area. The tools described here are (in the main) those built in to the JVM or supplied by IBM for use with the JVM. The majority of these tools are cross-platform tools, although there might be the occasional reference to other tools that apply only to a specific platform or varieties of that platform. Many other tools are supplied by hardware or system software vendors (such as system debuggers). Some of these tools are introduced in the platform-specific sections.
