First book to address and assess performance of enterprise Java-based applications using the new Java EE 5 Presents Java EE 5 Performance Management as a proven methodology, featuring a set of common problems that have been observed in real-world customer environments Presents "wait-based" performance tuning methodology, the most efficient Java EE 5 tuning methodology, but one previously neglected in the Java EE 5 space
Really liked the book. Contains tons of valuable advices on how to approach not only current Java performance problems but also on how to protect your systems against future changes in usage patterns. The chapter on wait-based tuning approach is a gem IMO, and so is the last chapter that acts as a cheat sheet for the most commonly observed performance related problems in Java EE environments. Highly recommended to anyone interested in making sure their software systems are tuned and in good shapes, and especially to those whose systems are not.
