JProfiler - A J2ee profiling tool

This is one of the best profiling tools i have seen.
They give a 10 day free evaluation with all feature's enabled.

Setting up the Jprofiler was a little tedious until I came to know how it works.
I was expecting that the Jprofiler would put some custom code in tomcat(like profiler4j) but actually it runs the tomcat in it's own session.

On windows, setup the application with downloaded exe.
Go to New -- Start center -- New Server integraion and you are done.
The app server gets started and log console is available through Jprofiler itself.

Another nice feature of jProfiler is remote connectivity. We can connect to server running in linux from windows.
To do that, install jProfiler on linux as below
 rpm -i http://download.ej-technologies.com/jprofiler/jprofiler_linux_5_0_1.rpm
Get the catalina.sh(for tomcat) and give to the start center wizard. Copy back this(jprofiler_startup.sh) to tomcat on linux. Now start the server using jprofiler_startup.sh.

Connect from windows GUI and you are ready for profiling..


The real thing :
Profiling can be done for memory or CPU load. The hot spots are the best ones to quickly find out the problem areas.
Also J2ee components can be easily profiled for JDBC calls, JMS calls,etc.
