One I like is "Pro Java EE 5 Performance Management and Optimization", by Steven Haines. Note that Steven Haines is associated with Quest Software and Jprobe (and related products). Although the book uses some pictures from those products, it is not in any way a "veiled" ad for those products. In the one section where he discusses actual products, he clearly discloses his relationship, and gives a very even survey (not really a review) of the products on the market.
If you were actually looking at products, I'd say Jprofiler and Jprobe are definitely worth looking at, and probably YourKit, although I only briefly looked at it, compared to Jprofiler and Jprobe. > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher Loschen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 2:10 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Book recommendations for performance tuning > > Hi all, > > I guess this is partially off-topic, but I've been asked to > start looking at improving the performance of our > application, and wanted to start reading up on things I > should be looking for, techniques to improve performance, and so on. > > Our application has a pretty standard stack of J2EE, > WebLogic, Oracle, Struts, JavaScript, plus some web services > and SOAP, so I'm interested in any recommendations anyone has > for any of those.
