Performance Monitoring in J2EE Applications

J2EE has become the main new platform for enterprise application deployment. Good performance is an important business requirement. Supporting this requirement needs application profiling during the development phases and performance monitoring after application deployment. Come to this session to understand challenges and choices in monitoring J2EE applications.

Performance monitoring solutions must work under constraints imposed by the environment. Further, they must balance conflicting requirements such as overhead vs. richness of information. All of these need careful understanding of both requirements and solutions as well as the costs of any tradeoff decisions.

This session presents various tools and techniques available for monitoring J2EE applications. We will consider requirements of performance monitoring solutions in different scenarios. We will also discuss underlying enabling technologies such as Java Virtual Machine Profiling Interface (JVMPI), Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface (JVMTI), JFluid, JMX, design patterns, and aspect-oriented programming (AOP). During the session, we will demonstrate many of the tools and technologies discussed.
