Performance Monitoring

To improve the performance of an Ajax application, it is better to monitor the performance for identifying the bottleneck. Depending on the information you'd like to know, there are a few approaches.

• PerformanceMeter: Monitoring the performance from network speed, server-processing time and the client-rendering time.
• EventInterceptor: Monitoring the performance of each event listener.
• Monitor: Monitoring the number of desktops, sessions and other system load.
• There are a lot of performance monitor tools, such as VisualVM and JProfiler. They could provide more insightful view of your application.

Loading Monitors

To know the loading of an application, you could implement Monitor to count the number of desktops, sessions and requests.

Once implemented, you could register it by specifying the following in WEB-INF/zk.xml (assume the class is called foo.MyStatistic):

<zk>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>foo.MyStatistic</listener-class>
    </listener>
</zk>
