Voyons ici un système concurrent de Glassbox. Cependant, cet outil tire partie des nouvelles possibilités de configuration par annotation offertes par Spring 2.5. Il comprend automatiquement les annotations @Controller, @Repository, @Transactional, @Component et @Service. L’avantage donc par rapport à Glassbox finalement c’est la prise en compte automatique des beans gérés par Spring dans le monitoring.

We are also aiming to unify the tools that are used by both developers and operations staff. We plan to do this by providing the right mixture of detailed information that would be useful at development time with aggregate data that can be used to monitor applications in production. However, I would not consider AMS to be a profiling system. The aim of the blog post was to describe how Spring applications themselves are instrumented, which is something we've done to supplement the Hyperic HQ Enterprise Edition that is included with AMS (which is a self-described "systems and application management solution"). Method execution times are collected in some cases to provide statistics like Throughput and AverageExecutionTime, which could also be used in production to indicate potential bottlenecks in the overall application. Spring Framework was enhanced to expose management data from Spring applications through JMX. Even if we had not gone with a compile-time weaving approach, additional jars containing this new functionality would have to be added to the application classpath (assuming you were in an environment that even supported load-time weaving). It's basically the same concept as upgrading to the next version of Spring Framework. Erwin,

The name 'Application Management Suite' seems to suggest the former while your description above suggests the latter (you've got method timing, you need specially instrumented jars, ...). If it seems like a tall order to have to change the jars you depend on with instrumented copies in a production setting just to be able to manage and monitor your application.

Is AMS open source? If yes and you want people to evaluate it, it should be easier to download, with no registration. I get a dialog for username and password. Is AMS open source?
