do you mean a system coredump -> /var/crash/`hostname`/...
or a core file from an application?

hi,

This crash is from a Weblogic application,having solaris 5.8, h

a corefile from an application is not debuggable by the user/admin; you can try strings but I guess you won't see very much... To debug sumething like that you need an "unstriped" executable, the core and a debugger (eg. dbx for gcc)... You can contact Weblogic if they do some debugging...
