Question on how to troubleshoot a glassfish crash

Hello,

My team at Sun Microsystems in Burlington MA is encountering a problem with
a Glassfish application server crashing shortly after a fresh installation.

We were deploying a web application on a freshly installed glassfish server,
Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0_01 (build b02-p01).
Each time the war file is deployed, we'd restart the glassfish server.

After some time ~2hrs, the application server crashed. Logs do not appear
to have any entries for app server going down. No hardware errors were
noted on the box either. This kind of behavior was reproduced on three
different SPARC boxes running Solaris 10.

Curiously, after the initial crash, we restarted the server and did not
witness another crash of the server running for several days now. Could you
offer some help on how to troubleshoot this issue?

Thanks,

Steven Shi
