Abstract

Deriving resource properties of components such as memory consumption is a requirement for the specification of non-functional properties of software components, enabling developers to make a selection among components not solely based on their function. In this paper we present a profiler for Enterprise Java Beans components that has been specifically adapted to the characteristics of such components. It facilitates focussing on the component concept whithout getting caught up in the details of the objects that actually constitute a component and offers several views concerning what to attribute to the memory consumption of a component. Our implementation is based on JVMPI and uses filtering inside the agent to generate the component profiles.
