Presentations
Insight Plugin Development
Spring Insight provides trace data for web-container managed threads out of the box. But, what about other application threads? Fortunately, Insight provides a pluggable architecture for enhancing the standard trace capabilities. This session discusses the use of the annotation plugin to immediately obtain valuable trace data without writing any additional code. It goes on to to describe the more advanced technique of creating a custom plugin and takes a deep dive into the new Spring Integration and JMS plugins. Finally, we discuss how you can get involved by contributing your own plugins to the community.
