Now, if the J2EE container used this (or a similiar) system in a
non-intrusive way, say via interceptors ala JBoss, that would be really
nice. You could have the turn on/off feature and not have to implement
or extend any classes/interfaces. Would make a nice addition to an admin
console as well.
Completely doable!
The whole API was designed to have little or no impact if there is no
Instrumentation Manager available, or no client connected. It uses the
same principles as the Logger interfaces in JDK 1.4/Log4J/LogKit tools
to skip the overhead as early as possible.
If you're interested, I can help you with the integration. The
InstrumentationManager supports pluggable "transports" to connect to
clients, so if you want to make the manager connect with something other
than AltRMI, I can do my best to help.
