title: How to identify holder of reference to object in Java Memory Analyzer using heap dump
body: <p>As i have some problems with OutOfMemoryErrors with an application i want to identify the root cause.
  This i created a heap dump (PHD) from the IBM VM on the AIX server and tried to analyze it using IBM Support assistant 4.1 and its Memory Analyzer tool.</p>
  
  <p>When the heap dump is parsed ISA asks me if i want to run the leak suspect report.</p>
  
  <p>Using the leak respect support i got the information about some classes which consume considerable amount of memory.</p>
  
  <p>What i now want to identify is the holder of the object references, but i can e.g. only see what objects a ArrayList contains, but not who holds a reference to that ArrayList.</p>
  
  <p>How can i get to that information?</p>
