Greetings Rick,

Thank you for engaging in my question.

Well since Java is able to be managed, and Java is cross-platform, there must 
be a cross-platform way to do such magic. Are you suggesting that within Java 
there is a bunch of Windows'ish code 
cross-platform?

These "language management" tools are able to peek inside the interpreter as it 
is running, inspect variables, watch threads executing, inspect variable pools 
and sizes of those pools, etc...

They also "tag" requests, so with agents on web / app server / db tiers, you 
are able to see a request come into the web server, head to the application 
server, what SQL it executes, reply from app 
server, reply from webserver. And if MQSeries and MQ Broker is involved in the 
transaction, you are able to see those hops as well. The master server for the 
Compuware dynaTrace product stitches all 
of the information coming from the various tiers back together again.

I know, I am back serving in big corporate America, liking their toys, and at 
the same time do not want to loose touch with the tools I know well in my tool 
box. Thus, I am inquiring into the 
possibility of connecting ooRexx to these "language management" tools so I 
could in-turn say to my client, "do not rule out ooRexx, it is able to work 
with your language management tool."

This client is the one that has the Application Server Architecture which runs 
Object REXX (Win 2.1.?) code as its development language for building 
applications. Quite similar to my own Rexxphi 
Application Server vision.

Alas, that Application Server Architecture is now old, development vendor got 
bought out by another vendor years ago, and is being retired.

I am thankful,
