 Pro Java EE 5 Peformance Management and Optimization features
proven methodology to guarantee top-performing Java EE 5 applications and explains how to measure performance in your specific environment. The book details performance integration points
throughout the development and deployment lifecycles. For QA and preproduction stages, author Steven Haines guides the reader through testing and deploying Java EE 5 applications with a
focus on assessing capacity and discovering saturation points. Haines also defines the concept and application of wait-based tuning.
In addition, the book explains assessing and improving the health of applications upon deployment. The topics covered include trending, forecasting, and capacity assessing and planning.
Haines also walks through the creation of a formal Java EE 5 Performance Management Plan, customized to an enviroment to help interpret and react to changing trends in usage patterns.
Chapter 6 of Pro Java EE 5, titled "Performance Tuning Methodology," focuses on setting up a proper testing environment and explores the concept of wait-based tuning.
Haines explains the steps necessary to implement a formal performance tuning methodology and guides the reader through a complete tuning example.
