This screen cast shows how JProfiler can split HTTP requests by the return values of scripts into multiple levels. This functionality allows you to both get a better overview as well as a more fine-grained analysis that can be adapted to your particular problem-related use cases. All the information in the HttpServletRequest object can be used for that purpose. In the screen cast, splitting by different user names is demonstrated.
This screen cast shows how to split your Java call tree for different JavaScript XHR calls. By installing the JProfiler Chrome plugin, a locally running JProfiler GUI will be notified of XHR calls in the browser and show an event description and a stack trace without further configuration. In this way, you can identify the sources of your CPU load beyond the granularity of your URLs and analyze the call tree in isolation for specific browser events.
In nearly all cases, migrating to install4j 6 just means opening and saving your project with the install4j 6 IDE. Nevertheless, there are some considerations with respect to backwards compatibility and a couple of behavioral changes.
(more…)Apple has decided to introduce a new signing scheme in the upcoming Mac OS X 10.9.5 maintenance release.
The good news is that the new signature is much better from a security point of view. The utility of the old signature was highly questionable, because it allowed unsigned and modifiable files in the application bundle. An attacker could change the JAR files in the application bundle and the signature of the application bundle would remain valid.
The bad news is that all existing signatures are going to break. Only applications with a v2 signature will be accepted by Gatekeeper starting with Mac OS X 10.9.5. On the upside, the v2 signature is backwards compatible with older versions of Mac OS X. The means that if your application bundle is signed with the new scheme it will work in Mac OS 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10 – and hopefully even with future versions of Mac OS X.

Today we’re releasing a major new product: perfino is a JVM monitoring tool for in-production use. Over the years, we have lost count of the number of times that our customers have asked us on how to best deploy JProfiler in production. While our standard response was to recommend a monitoring tool, our customers were not so easily dissuaded. They wanted the power of JProfiler to solve their particular problems.
This screen cast shows “Remote request tracking” in JProfiler. It makes it possible to profile business transactions that span multiple JVMs. Here, a web service call to another JVM is shown and profiled in isolation of other requests that are handled by the server. In addition, JProfiler supports remote request tracking for RMI and remote EJB calls.
This screen cast shows how to use the MongoDB probe in JProfiler that has been added in JProfiler 8.0. The profiled application is the vert.x web demo application that uses mongodb as a storage option. MongoDB events are correlated to the the activity in the web application and it is shown how the exclusion of primitive data leads to a useful definition of hots spots.
This screen cast shows how the class loaders probe can be used to debug class loading and to solve class loader memory leaks.
We’ve just converted all our screen casts to HTML with MP4 and WebM codecs so you can enjoy them on mobile and other Flash-less devices.
There still is a Flash fallback for ancient browsers that do not support the “video” tag. Some older browsers (such as Firefox 3) that support the video-tag but do not support either the MP4 or the WebM video codec may show an error. In that case, please go to our youtube channel to watch the screen casts.
— Update 2013-07-24
Since Firefox 21, MP4 is supported on Firefox if you’re on Windows 7 or higher. There may be problems with colors that are resolved if you go to about:config and set
media.windows-media-foundation.use-dxva=false
The following new features in the install4j 5.1 require consideration when migrating from 5.0:
