Is there a way to do a live heap dump with ibm-jdk for linux?

Question

I know that it's possible to dump heap when an OutOfMemoryException is occuring on this JVM but is it possible to ask a live dump with tools like jmap or jconsole?

Answer 1

OK, I'll finally answer to myself : the application has a remote admin interface, so I will implement a new command that is calling the com.ibm.jvm.Dump.HeapDump() method.
