How to run jcmd without the JDK?

问题

I'm trying to figure out how to drop jcmd.exe on a windows server installed at a client site so that we can troubleshoot heap and thread issues. Don't really want to install the full JDK since it complicates the environment.

jcmd.exe definitely wants some components from the JDK to run, but I'm unable to determine which ones. If I can get it down to a small set that we unzip into a folder, use it to capture data, and then destroy, that would be perfect.

Anybody know what JDK components jcmd needs to run?

回答1:

A quick examination of jcmd.exe reveals:

    ntdll.dll => /c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7fff01820000)
    KERNEL32.DLL => /c/WINDOWS/system32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x7ffeff180000)
    KERNELBASE.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/KERNELBASE.dll (0x7ffefe810000)
    SYSFER.DLL => /c/WINDOWS/System32/SYSFER.DLL (0x54f10000)
    jli.dll => /c/apps/jdk1.8.0_121/bin/jli.dll (0x51ec0000)
    MSVCR100.dll => /c/apps/jdk1.8.0_121/bin/MSVCR100.dll (0x51c40000)
    ADVAPI32.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/ADVAPI32.dll (0x7ffefeeb0000)
    msvcrt.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/msvcrt.dll (0x7fff01720000)
    sechost.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/sechost.dll (0x7ffeff0c0000)
    RPCRT4.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/RPCRT4.dll (0x7ffefec20000)
    USER32.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/USER32.dll (0x7ffefef60000)
    COMCTL32.dll => /c/WINDOWS/WinSxS/amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.10586.672_none_a2d6b3cea53ff843/COMCTL32.dll (0x7ffef8460000)
    GDI32.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/GDI32.dll (0x7ffeff230000)
    combase.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/combase.dll (0x7ffeff3c0000)
    bcryptPrimitives.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/bcryptPrimitives.dll (0x7ffefe540000)

It therefore appears that msvcr100.dll and jli.dll would be the only requisite components from the JDK. A super quick test seems to indicate that these three files will suffice, but I will admit my test situation may not have been perfect.

EDIT: Upon further examination, here is the minimum configuration I found that works. It may be possible to modify the directory structure somewhat and set things such as CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, and PATH. I did not explore all of the permutations.

.:
bin/  COPYRIGHT*  jre/  lib/  LICENSE*

./bin:
jcmd.exe*  jli.dll*  msvcr100.dll*

./jre:
bin/  COPYRIGHT*  lib/  LICENSE*

./jre/bin:
attach.dll*  java.dll*  jli.dll*  net.dll*  nio.dll*  server/  unpack.dll*  
verify.dll*  zip.dll*

./jre/bin/server:
classes.jsa*  jvm.dll*  Xusage.txt*

./jre/lib:
amd64/  rt.jar*

./jre/lib/amd64:
jvm.cfg*

./lib:
jvm.lib*  tools.jar*

I also left the COPYRIGHT and LICENSE files as I felt they were important.

The jcmd tool is written in Java, so a JDK is needed.

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/jdk.jcmd/share/classes/sun/tools/jcmd/JCmd.java

From JDK 9 or later, you can use jlink to create a custom JDK image that only contains modules needed for the jcmd tool.

$ cd %JAVA_HOME%
$ bin\jlink --module-path jmods --add-modules jdk.jcmd --output c:\custom-jdk
$ c:\custom-jdk\bin
$ jcmd

It's about 40 MB on my machine and it can operate against earlier releases. Not sure how much it helps, but it is the clean way to do it.

I was also looking for a way to run jcmd with JRE (on production). I could not use the other existing answer from @KevinO because I'm running on K8S and my docker image is based on Alpine Linux.

Eventually, I ended up with copying the minimal artifacts from JDK into the docker image and I was able to run jcmd and start Flight Recorder. I'm using Azul JRE zulu11.41.24-sa-jre11.0.8-linux_musl_x64.

Here is what worked for me (snippet from my dockerfile):

RUN  tar zxf /tmp/${JDK}.tar.gz -C /tmp && \
        mkdir -p /jcmd && \
        mkdir -p /jcmd/bin && \
        mkdir -p /jcmd/lib && \
        cp /tmp/${JDK}/bin/jcmd /jcmd/bin/jcmd && \
        cp -r /tmp/${JDK}/lib/libattach.so /tmp/${JDK}/lib/jvm.cfg /tmp/${JDK}/lib/libjava.so /tmp/${JDK}/lib/libjimage.so /tmp/${JDK}/lib/libnet.so /tmp/${JDK}/lib/libnio.so /tmp/${JDK}/lib/libverify.so /tmp/${JDK}/lib/libzip.so /tmp/${JDK}/lib/modules /tmp/${JDK}/lib/server /tmp/${JDK}/lib/jli /jcmd/lib && \
        rm -rf /tmp/${JDK}
