Hi Thomas,

What i did not find were classes dealing with retreaving trace data (from
whereever) to visualise.

Here's a high level overview of data flow in a profiling session:
1. Client initiates a profiling session launch
2. A process is launched in profling mode using the Integraged Agent
Controller or a standalone Agent Controller
3. The client attaches to the agent that is bound to the Java process
launched in (2)
4. The data retrieved from the agent in (3) is sent to a data processor that
will load each event into an EMF based model
5. The views query the EMF model to provide the visualization.

See platform/org.eclipse.tptp.platform.jvmti.client to get an overview of
how to accomplish 1-4.  You'll need to review
trace/org.eclipse.hyades.trace.views to get an overview of how to accomplish
5.

What I would like to have is a callgraph of a JUnit-Testrun (whereas
profiling JUnit Tests will not be supported anymore, right?

TPTP came to an agreement with JDT to add back JUnit and Plug-in JUnit
profiling support in i3.  These functions have temporarily been removed in
i2.

Furthermore, is there any possibility to query the trace data online (as
events occur)? Or do i have to make the indirection via the file?

Yes, you can have events processes in live-mode.  This is in fact how the
JVMPI and JVMTI agents work.

Hope that helps,
Ali Mehregani

Hi all,

i am currently working on my bachelor thesis which makes use of the tptp
tracing components (probably you read my question in the newsgroup).

My first attempt was to create my own profiler to collect execution data
(method entry/exit) to create a dynamic callgrapg from. Then one gave me
the
hint to look at uml2sd which creates something like that.

I checked out the plugin "org.eclipse.tptp.platform.common.ui" and found
some classes reagarding creation of a SDView. What i did not find were
classes dealing with retreaving trace data (from whereever) to visualise.
Could you give me a more detailed pointer, please. I searched through the
code but was not successful right now.

What I would like to have is a callgraph of a JUnit-Testrun (whereas
profiling JUnit Tests will not be supported anymore, right? [read that in
a
bug]). What i think i understood so far is the following:

- at first i have to create a trcaxmi file with the existing ExecutionFlow
Agent (probably by registering my own dataCollectionMechanism)
- then i have to notified by somethinf that profiling has finished and
data
could be queried
- than i have to query this trcaxmi file (somehow) and create the
callgraph
from, right?

Furthermore, is there any possibility to query the trace data online (as
events occur)? Or do i have to make the indirection via the file?

If anyone could give me some pointers to get started it would be much
appreciated.

Regards,

Thomas E.-E.
