Episode 21. The JVM Crashed...Now what?! - a podcast by Freddy Guime & Bob Paulin

So you're programming along when suddenly support calls and says that the application just "disappeared", or, the server process is not there anymore, both of them leaving you with a hprof.pid file. You have just witnessed the murder of a Java Virtual Machine, and now is your turn to figure out what happen, and what can we do to prevent such senseless crashes. We cover the main reasons for crashes (most likely not your fault), and best of all, ways around it! So put on your detective hat and let's solve the mysteries surrounding JVM Crashes once and for all!
