Hi Leif & other Instrumenters!
Hope all is well!
I wanted to ask you a question about DefaultInstrumentManager
and the inclusion of a possible helper method to make accessing
samples easier.
I've managed to write a InstrumentManageable component which gets
a reference to the InstrumentManager in Cocoon. Using an Axis
AvalonProvider that I wrote I can now export instrumentable
samples via SOAP. Yippee :)
(this is great because now I can use the Cocoon soap client xsp
library to get the data, and plug it straight into xcml to create
a chart on the fly) :)
Essentially the IMable component exposes 1 method, getSamples()
which takes a parameter being the path to the sample requested.
ie:
instrumentable/instrumentable/instrument/sample
Separated by '/' which probably isn't a good separator.. hmm :/
I noticed that the default instrumentables you've configured
include the path information mostly separated by '.' at each level, so
the actual path I have to pass is:
instrument-manager/instrument-manager.active-thread-count/instrument-manager.active-thread-count.maximum.1000.600
which contains a lot of duplicate information.
What would be great is if I could pass:
instrument-manager/active-thread-count/maximum.1000.600
as that contains the required info - instrumentable, instrument and
sample.
What prevents this from working are other '.' characters in the
string (the .1000.600 for example). What do you think about
introducing a unique separator between instruments, instrumentables
and samples when building up their names ?
Then we could also add a simple helper method to
DefaultInstrumentManager called getSamples(String path) or similar
to ease access to samples sets ?
What do you think ? Or have I misunderstood something there ?
Cheers,
Marcus
