  • Capturing machine state of unstable java program
    Patent number: 7941703
    Abstract: Mechanisms and methods for capturing an execution state of a failing program in a computing environment are disclosed. Embodiments can enable detection of user initiated program terminations and error information capture without incurring the overhead of a separate monitoring process. It is possible to obtain an execution trace and related state information in the event that a program has incurred a program error causing the user to terminate the program.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2011
    Assignee: Oracle America, Inc.
