Java oriented monitoring infrastructure (J-OCM)

Java oriented monitoring infrastructure (J-OCM) provides an
ablility to observe, analyze and manipulate the execution of
distributed Java applications and Java run-time environment,
regardless of implementation details like instrumentation of
monitored entities, hardware platform and application libraries.

Tools ((debuggers, performance analyzers etc.) can access the
monitored application via a standardized interface that is
defined by On-Line Monitoring Interface Specification (OMIS),
extended by a set of new Java-specific services relating to:
garbage collection, threads execution, class loading, remote
method invocation. The new monitoring functionality can be
applied for building various kinds of  tools and for adapting
the already existing ones which work in the on-line mode.

It will be shown how this new monitoring functionality can be
used for monitoring Java Web Services and component application
which are beeing developed in the CoreGRID Project.
