I am using VisualVM to analyze a core dump. I suspect some XML objects to be causing the leak but there are way too many String objects to go through one by one.

Can I use OQL to search String that begin with 'GH' ?

thanks for any help.

under JDK 1.8.20 a more simple variant works:

select s from java.lang.String s where s.toString().startsWith("GH")

  • Thank you for this. Where do you find documentation for all the supported methods? Googling only leads to random blogs that don't work – higuaro Mar 29 '23 at 04:59
  • just looked at the answer below and guessed that startsWith could work. also as I heard it's possible to use sql with a heap dump – Yura Mar 30 '23 at 14:42

Try this: select {instance: s, content: s.toString()} from java.lang.String s where s.count>2 && s.toString().substring(0,2)=="GH"

heap.objects('java.lang.String', false, "it.toString().startsWith('GH')")

    A short ummary would help reviewers (like me) to judge the validity of your answer; interested users wouldn't have to dive into the code to understand your appoach. Just a sentence or two would be fine and not too much work. – Ingo Karkat Dec 22 '16 at 15:07

select c.attr_name.toString() from a.b.c.MyClass c where c.attr_name.toString().startsWith("GH")
