When i was developing an application for a large group of users it is a question how it performs in real production situations.

To measure it i found a very nice tool. It is AppDynamics and it has a lite version witch is free for downloading and using it !!!  ( http://www.appdynamics.com http://www.codecentric.nl )

When i downloaded it doesn't work when i followed the manual. I can measure my Eclipse an SoapUI but not my JBoss 7.0.2

Finaly it works with a little configuration :

 

- unzip AppDynamicsLite.zip and all zips in it in the directory /opt/java/AppDynamicsLite

- Go to your JBoss directory and edit standalone.conf

Add the following line to it :

# APPDynamics

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -javaagent:/opt/java/AppDynamicsLite/javaagent.jar -Djboss.modules.system.pkgs=com.singularity"

 

After that you can start JBoss ( standalone ) and the AppDynamicsLite tool to measure and improve your application.
