public interface ThreadMXBean extends PlatformManagedObject
A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the implementation
class of this interface. This instance implementing this interface is
an MXBean
that can be obtained by calling
the ManagementFactory.getThreadMXBean()
method or
from the platform MBeanServer
method.
The ObjectName for uniquely identifying the MXBean for the thread system within an MBeanServer is:
java.lang:type=Threading
It can be obtained by calling the
PlatformManagedObject.getObjectName()
method.
Thread.getId()
method for a thread.
The thread ID is unique during its lifetime. When a thread
is terminated, this thread ID may be reused.
Some methods in this interface take a thread ID or an array of thread IDs as the input parameter and return per-thread information.
The isThreadCpuTimeSupported()
method can be used to determine
if a Java virtual machine supports measuring of the CPU time for any
thread. The isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported()
method can
be used to determine if a Java virtual machine supports measuring of
the CPU time for the current thread.
A Java virtual machine implementation that supports CPU time measurement
for any thread will also support that for the current thread.
The CPU time provided by this interface has nanosecond precision but not necessarily nanosecond accuracy.
A Java virtual machine may disable CPU time measurement
by default.
The isThreadCpuTimeEnabled()
and setThreadCpuTimeEnabled(boolean)
methods can be used to test if CPU time measurement is enabled
and to enable/disable this support respectively.
Enabling thread CPU measurement could be expensive in some
Java virtual machine implementations.
The isThreadContentionMonitoringSupported()
method can be used to
determine if a Java virtual machine supports thread contention monitoring.
The thread contention monitoring is disabled by default. The
setThreadContentionMonitoringEnabled(boolean)
method can be used to enable
thread contention monitoring.
getThreadInfo(long[], boolean, boolean)
and
dumpAllThreads(boolean, boolean)
methods can be used to obtain the thread stack trace
and synchronization information including which
lock a thread is blocked to
acquire or waiting on and which locks the thread currently owns.
The ThreadMXBean interface provides the
findMonitorDeadlockedThreads()
and
findDeadlockedThreads()
methods to find deadlocks in
the running application.

long[] findMonitorDeadlockedThreads()
Object.wait
call,
where each thread owns one monitor while
trying to obtain another monitor already held by another thread
in a cycle.
More formally, a thread is monitor deadlocked if it is part of a cycle in the relation "is waiting for an object monitor owned by". In the simplest case, thread A is blocked waiting for a monitor owned by thread B, and thread B is blocked waiting for a monitor owned by thread A.
This method is designed for troubleshooting use, but not for synchronization control. It might be an expensive operation.
This method finds deadlocks involving only object monitors.
To find deadlocks involving both object monitors and
ownable synchronizers,
the findDeadlockedThreads
method
should be used.

This method obtains a snapshot of the thread information for each thread including:
This method returns an array of the ThreadInfo objects, each is the thread information about the thread with the same index as in the ids array. If a thread of the given ID is not alive or does not exist, null will be set in the corresponding element in the returned array. A thread is alive if it has been started and has not yet died.
If a thread does not lock any object monitor or lockedMonitors is false, the returned ThreadInfo object will have an empty MonitorInfo array. Similarly, if a thread does not lock any synchronizer or lockedSynchronizers is false, the returned ThreadInfo object will have an empty LockInfo array.
When both lockedMonitors and lockedSynchronizers parameters are false, it is equivalent to calling:
getThreadInfo(ids, Integer.MAX_VALUE)
This method is designed for troubleshooting use, but not for synchronization control. It might be an expensive operation.
