[news.eclipse.tools.hyades] Re: questions about distributed tracing

["Richard Duggan" <rduggan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rogue,

Good questions.  We are in the process of defining a  architecture for doing
distributed tracing..  One of the goals is to provide a set of API's that
can be leveraged by a middleware to provide distributed context flow.  These
API's could be invoked directly by the middleware, or may be injected into
the middleware via some other mechanism such as BCI.  The implementation of
this architecture is loosley refered to as the trace correlation service.
Watch the data capture/communication workgroup for more information

JSR 163 is the JSR that is intended to formalize the function now provided
by JVMPI.  You can access all JSR's through http://www.jcp.org


Hope this provided some clarity,
Richard Duggan
