Description Jiri Sedlacek 2009-10-16 11:02:59 UTC 
Some heap dumps appear to be kind of broken, String.value contains null for some instances. This almost consistently
happens for me when dumping from JDK 6u16.

The problem is that for some OQL queries this could cause a NPE being thrown from the HeapWalker which is not very nice.
Try to run the following query for the attached heap dump:

  select toHtml(a) + " = " + a.toString() from java.lang.String a where a.hash == 0

A workaround seems to be using this modified query:

  select toHtml(a) + " = " + a.value.toString() from java.lang.String a where a.hash == 0

which reports javax.script.ScriptException in the Query Results view but doesn't affect the HeapWalker itself.
