After the other day William’s comments, I decided to invest some more time in reading about JXInsight. So last night, I’ve started my look through their blogged documentation and put together everything that might get me started. Thinking that others may be facing the same issue as I was, I am listing here those entries that may get you some ideas about the product.
101
- Services (description of concepts)
- AspectJ(Usage and extensibility of JXInsight based on Aspectj)
- Introducing Diagnostics
Configuration
I have listed only the link for Tomcat as that is the configuration I was looking for, but it looks like the blog contains entries for other deployments too. There are a couple of more links that may be interesting, but they look a bit old: Apache Tomcat Monitoring and Configuring Servlet Traces.
My continued quest for information resulted in finding a couple of more pages, but I’ll have to filter them out firstly:
Concepts at work
What I am still looking for, and doesn’t look like being around, are the following pieces of documentation:
- Definition of the concepts
- Console details
- Terminal usage
I’ll probably ping William about these. So far I’ve been a bit puzzled by the terms the documentation is using. These are not clearly defined, and I think I am that kind of person that agrees with usability guru Steve Krug when thinking that you shouldn’t introduce new terms for existing concepts, as these are usually leading to confusion.
Last, but not least, I have noticed that JXInsight 5.5 was released and that William will focus on creating the so-needed documentation:
Now the hard part begins – rebuilding the documentation set! This will be ongoing for the next few weeks[…]
I am looking forward to seeing it.
