Check out the �Visualize the Invisible� Tour (http://www.jinspired.com/products/jdbinsight/tour.html) Press Release ==================== Dublin, Ireland�May 15, 2002� Inspired Limited today announced the availability of JDBInsight 1.1 Standard Edition. The new version includes new visualizations that set the standard in terms of ease of use and graphical communication. JDBInsight is the only J2EE performance profiler to offer low runtime overheads as little as 2%. No other profiler or performance-monitoring tool on the market provides this low level of intrusion while at the same time providing detailed transactional analysis. JDBInsight analyses the access of enterprise data by J2EE� client-, web-, and bean containers. The analysis can encompass transaction executions, spanning multiple J2EE� containers. JDBInsight captures timing and execution information for enterprise data accessed by Servlets, JavaServer Pages, Session- and Entity Beans using JDBC� or an Entity Bean using a container's persistence engine. Five Reasons For Choosing JDBInsight to Target J2EE� Performance Problems 1. Minimal Performance Overhead - During performance test runs of ECperf, JDBInsight introduced as little as 2% overhead to the runtime. Similar runs with open source solutions showed 50% degradation in the throughput figures. Using a Java profiler would result in an even greater degradation, rendering any profiling information useless. 2. Early Detection - Unlike most other J2EE performance assurance offerings, JDBInsight enables development teams to target performance from day one. Since most tuning efforts result in changes to application design and code, it is important this is addressed early rather than late. JDBInsight enables project management to control development time and hardware costs. 3. Targets Biggest Bottleneck - Java profilers in most cases cannot identify application bottlenecks even with application server class and package filtering. The information that is provided is usually incomplete and without context. JDBInsight focuses specifically on the expensive interaction between applications and databases. 4. Visualizes the Invisible - With the increasing usage of persistence frameworks in J2EE� application development, architects and developers find it impossible to determine what database interactions are occurring. One of the biggest problems is that the inner workings are encapsulated, thus testers are limited to black box testing, slowing down development. JDBInsight provides a visualization of the transactional nature of a J2EE� application, unmatched by any other similar offering. 5. Application Server and Database Independent - JDBInsight allows developers to identify poorly performing SQL, independent of database and trace tools. J2EE� developers need not configure a database for tracing, nor spend time learning different tools for extracting traces. JDBInsight goes far beyond the sophistication of current database tracing tools, by compacting transaction history trees and providing detailed statistics at various levels of detail. Developers using different application servers also benefit from the fact that the product is application server independent. Raves and Reviews �[JDBInsight] will be a great help to us in discovering the right path to follow for optimal J2EE performance� Senior Engineer, CRM Product �JDBInsight is a powerful tool for understanding and optimizing J2EE applications using JDBC. It collects a wealth of data about your running application. It then presents these data in a GUI that lets the user get in and see what the application is doing in fascinating and insightful ways. To my knowledge, the product is currently unique in the market� Technical Architect, CORBA/J2EE Application Server Product �JDBInsight was fundamental in providing us with a detailed understanding as to how our container generated and managed persistence.� J2EE Consultant, Leading Software Corporation "I really appreciate [JDBInsight]. Very easy to install (server and GUI). The GUI is very nice and user friendly. Excellent work !!!" Project Manager, European Financial Institution "The product looks really impressive" Senior Software Developer, Leading Software Design Consultancy Company �With JDBInsight we were able to perform detailed tests based upon our domain, thus we were able to make decisions in respect of JDBC drivers.� Technical Lead, Telecom Product �I love to see the product embedded within our product. Customers would love it!!!� Cluster Engineer, Application Server Vendor �This tool might be a very good jewel in our application server product.� Senior CORBA Consultant, Leading Software Corporation ==========================================================================To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
