I've been reading up on AppDynamics Lite all morning and absolutely love it! It's pretty nice to be able to drop a JAR into your web app (WAR), deploy it and have it automatically run perf tests on your app.
I was wondering if anything similar exist for full-fledged profiling? Something similar to, say, VisualVM, but that deploys as a JAR and that can be packaged inside a WAR?
Online searches didn't turn up much but then again I might not be searching for the right thing. I call this an "intra-JVM profiler" because its profiling the same Java process its running inside of (like AppDynamics).
I love open source but this is not a mandatory requisite. Thanks in advance for any pointers/recommendations!
