Identify transaction flows within J2EE apps

As e-commerce applications evolve, their complexity increases at a rate that often outpaces their documentation. J2EE applications, in particular, may be distributed, meaning that an individual transaction may need to travel across several different servers.

When performance issues arise, finding their source can be a very time-consuming and difficult task indeed—especially for transactions that can take several different paths.

IT departments often tackle this task manually by maintaining blueprints of their applications, but updating such documents as changes are made is often a low priority. To help with this problem, Dirig Software offers PathFinder, designed to assist in identifying transaction flows within J2EE applications.
