Hi All,

I am not sure whether this is the correct forum for posting this but I wanted to inform you about the new release of JDBInsight 2.0 (available today) which has call stack classifications for Hibernate classes.

The JDBInsight console comes with a snapshot of the Network Demo application within the Hibernate distribution. We will be providing further integration as the product involves into a general event pattern processing platform with bytecode instrumentation and pattern analysis.

Any suggestions on better classifications and visualizations for Hibernate applications our welcomed.

The product can be downloaded for evaluation from:

PRESS RELEASE
=============
DUBLIN, IRELAND - 29th October, 2003 - JInspired (http://www.jinspired.com), a leader in J2EE(tm) transaction analysis, today announced JDBInsight 2.0, the next generation of J2EE performance management products from JInspired.

JDBInsight is the first product to effectively integrate Java profiling information with JDBC/SQL transaction analysis. Version 2.0 has numerous features derived from its support of the Java VM Profiling Interface (JVMPI) such as Java call stack analysis, cpu, blocking and waiting measurements at the transaction path level. Clock measurements are adjusted for blocking, waiting and gc pauses. New features in this release

- New console user interface: Many new informative visualizations of J2EE transactions and performance execution profiles have been added. Including call stack graphs, entry point tree maps, sequence diagrams, call stack and transaction transcripts. Additional views included allow for navigation of the performance profile via database table or column, Java package, class, or method, technology classification, SQL tokens, or transaction entry points.

- Java call stack classification engine: Developers, testers, database and J2EE server administrators can now better understand the interaction of various Java enterprise technologies with corporate databases. Classifications are available for Java enterprise technologies such as EJB, Hibernate, JDO, JMS, JSP, Servlets, JTS, JDBC, and Struts.

- Terminal services: The terminal services add-on provides a quick and easy way to communicate with multiple servers without having to use a graphical user interface. This facilitates the streamlined connection, activation and deactivation of profiles on local or remote servers with the ability to control multiple servers from a single terminal. The terminal environment provides a powerful environment to create and schedule snapshot information, in order to monitor servers at regular intervals, with the ability to store and retrieve snapshots from any mounted drive, as well as providing a rich set of commands, that can be executed from saved scripts, to assist in analysis of this highly detailed profile data.

- Transaction demarcations: JDBInsight 2.0 is the first performance management product to have the ability to detect and present resource transaction demarcations - allowing visual sub-transaction identification.

- Resource Management: JDBInsight keeps counters representing objects states for each JDBC interception point create a resource object. When a JDBC resource changes state the allocation site counters are updated. This helps to pinpoint source code locations where resource objects are created and not closed properly or freed from memory. Because an interception is a combination of call stack and SQL the view caters for generic J2EE application frameworks which create objects based on application parameters and callers.

- Xml export: Various statistical measurements can be viewed in Xml format and copied into applications for custom report generation.

- Server options: Additional system properties to customize the small amount of overhead added during runs.

About JDBInsight
JDBInsight is an innovative enterprise development product, aimed at simplifying the performance tuning and testing of J2EE(tm) applications, which access data through the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC(tm)) API. JDBInsight analyses the access of enterprise data by J2EE(tm) client-, web-, and bean containers. The analysis can encompass transaction executions, from multiple J2EE(tm) containers. JDBInsight captures timing and execution information for enterprise data accessed by Servlets, JavaServer Pages, Session- and Entity Beans using JDBC(tm) or an Entity Bean using a container's persistence engine. JDBInsight can also profile non-J2EE applications that access enterprise data through the JDBC(tm) API.

What distinguishes JDBInsight from other profiling and performance management tools on the market is that JDBInsight provides analysis from a sequence perspective instead of simply showing a call tree. Inefficiencies in J2EE applications occur mainly at the transaction level such as repeating the execution of a particular SQL locally and globally. JDBInsight facilitates the recognition of database interaction patterns that exhibit inefficiencies when viewed in terms of the sequential execution of a business and/or resource transaction.
