Best Practices for Monitoring J2EE SOA Environment - Chris Farrell

J2EE is an excellent platform for developing and deploying web
applications. Developers employ black box engineering concepts to
create these mission critical applications in greater numbers and in
less time. The black box, however, creates issues in performance
monitoring and performance management. The lack of visibility of the
business logic layer in production systems has contributed to
hard-to-find performance bottlenecks and integration problems. In
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments, these problems are
exacerbated by the exponentially greater number of interconnected
components.

In this session, Chris Farrell, ClearApp Vice President of Product
Management, will discuss best practices in managing J2EE Application
performance, especially in SOA environments. Mr. Farrell will discuss
how modeling and monitoring performance with contextual information
helps organizations get better control of their composite SOA
applications' performance. Along the way, Mr. Farrell will discuss the
pros and cons of different approaches taken in application performance
monitoring.
