Java profiler tool for webservice

Question

I am building a project which runs in SOA architecture. It is implemented with jersey framework and runs on embedded Jetty server. Is there any Java profiler that can be used for such a setup that is easily pluggable?

Answer 1

Any Java profiler will be able to profile the VM that runs the embedded Jetty server. As for being "pluggable", most modern profilers can attach to Java 6+ JVMs without any special startup command modifications.

Apart from visualVM , I recommend JProfiler , whose servlet probe will show you all invoked URLs. In the servlet probe, you can configure which parts of the URL are retained, so that you get a useful hot spot definition.
