Paths of Objects without GC roots

[ron.amir]

Hello, I can see that a certain object is created excessively during a request, however when I capture a memory snapshot at the end of the request and before GC, I see that those object don't have a gc root, i.e. they will be collected by the next gc. Is there a way for me to understand the path to this object even though it doesn't have a root at the end of the request? some way to understand where this object is being created?

Thanks.

1) Start object allocation recording, make requests and capture memory snapshot

2) Open snapshot and select "reachability" view

3) Select "Objects pending finalization" row and press F4

4) Select "Allocation call tree - All threads merged"
https://www.yourkit.com/docs/java-profi ... merged.jsp

You will see where the objects pending finalization have been allocated.
