Debugging into Java core libraries with Eclipse

  1. Unzip the jdk src.zip file
  2. Create a project and build the java source
  3. Open the Eclipse project run dialog for the project you want to debug into the java source from
  4. Click on the Classpath tab
  5. Click on the Bootstrap Entries
  6. Click the Add Projects button
  7. Add the java source project
  8. Click on the Up/Down buttons to move the java source project above the JRE System Library (equivalent to -Xbootclasspath/p)
  9. Debug your project as normal and you will be able inspect variables as you step through the java core libraries
  10. Alter the java source to add instrumentation for things like recording last mutator thread stack trace of Collections for debugging and discovering the source of ConcurrentModificationException, etc.

Oracle JDBC ReadTimeout QueryTimeout

If a query exceeds the oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout without receiving any data, an exception is thrown and the connection is terminated by the Oracle driver on the client. Unfortunately the session will still be queued on the database and continue to wait for locks, hold any current locks, and complete any DML/PL*SQL procedures that are pending on the server-side of the orphaned connection. If an application, on a another connection, due to ReadTimeout exception, retries DML/PL*SQL  which requires locks, those queries will queue behind the initial DML/PL*SQL. This will increase the workload exacerbating the situation. On applications with retries, this can be observed by querying the v$session table  or gv$session on RAC and noting new sessions started periodically based on the ReadTimeout interval. The sessions may often have the same SQL_ID and/or SQL_HASH_VALUE. If stmt.setQueryTimeout(Seconds) is issued and the statement exceeds the timeout, it will attempt to cancel the associated
