glassfish:ejb:bean:methodStartEvent

start of the method execution event

Synopsis

glassfish:ejb:bean:methodStartEvent (
long beanId,
String appName,
String modName,
String ejbName,
Method method)

glassfish:ejb:bean__beanspecific_:methodStartEvent (
long beanId,
String appName,
String modName,
String ejbName,
Method method)

Description

These two events are sent when the EJB container code starts executing a bean method.

Use the generic version of this event to track EJB methods executed across the entire EJB container.

Use the bean-specific version of this event to track EJB methods executed for a specific bean. In the bean-specific version, beanspecific has the form:

appName_modName_ejbName

In this form, appName, modName, and ejbName are the names of the application, the module, and the bean, respectively, with dashes (-) and periods (.) converted to underscores (_). For example, the bean-specific event name for the sampleBean bean in the sampleModule.jar module of the sample-App application is:

glassfish:ejb:bean__sample_App_sampleModule_jar_sampleBean_:methodStartEvent

When monitoring the activity of a specific bean, using the bean-specific version of this event provides much better end-to-end monitoring performance than does using the generic version and inspecting its parameters to associate the event with the bean.

Parameters

beanId

The unique identifier for the EJB container associated with this EJB.

appName

The name of the application associated with the EJB.

modName

The name of the module that contains the EJB.

ejbName

The name of the EJB.

method

The Method object.
