Book Description
Pro Java EE 5 Performance 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 also details performance integration points throughout the development and deployment lifecycles that are crucial for application success.
For QA and preproduction stages, this book guides you through testing and optimally deploying your Java EE 5 applications, with a focus on assessing capacity and discovering saturation points. It defines the concept and application of wait-based tuning&emdash;one of the most effective approaches to application server tuning.
The book also helps you assess and improve the health of your applications upon deployment. The topics covered include trending, forecasting, and capacity assessing and planning. When production issues arise, you'll be armed with troubleshooting methodology and solutions to common problems that have been observed in real-world environments. This book even guides you through the creation of a formal Java EE 5 Performance Management Plan&emdash;customized to your environment to help you interpret and react to changing trends in usage patterns.

software as well as managing and performing Java EE 5 performance tuning engagements for large-scale Java EE 5 deployments, including those of several Fortune 500 companies.
Reader Reviews
This is a one of a kind book. It is the only one that discusses performance maintenance and optimization for all your Java EE applications, from code to servers. The first section covers processes that you need to have in the full lifecycle of your application. Starting monitoring and performance tuning early on in the process to make it easier to keep your app performing at its best. The second part covers performance tuning, where to best tune your application for the biggest bang for your buck, from the JVM, first place to tune, to your pooling and other configurations. The third part covers tuning your production environment, which should be easy, as long as you have statistics already from your development to test server load balancing. And finally the last part has tips and tricks. For just the ten pages on JVM Heap/Garbage Collection and tuning alone is worth the price of the book. This book should be your single source of performance tuning and monitoring for all Java EE Applications. It is your bible on performance.
