Apache TomEE Monitoring

Java

Apache TomEE is an open-source Java EE (Enterprise Edition) web server and application framework stack that is built on top of Apache Tomcat. It contains several open-source jars to handle such tasks as contexts and dependency injections (Apache OpenWebBeans), server-side component architecture to modularly create Java-based enterprise applications (Apache OpenEJB), an application programming interface (Apache OpenJPA), a connector and transaction management framework (Apache Geronimo Transaction), and JavaBeans Validation (Apache BVal), among others.

TomEE comes in a TomEE+ version, which adds the ability to build APIs using Apache CXF. For developers and operations teams building and managing applications with the Apache TomEE application server, the AppDynamics platform provides a comprehensive solution for monitoring and managing the performance of your Java applications. With rapid installation and the most scalable architecture in the industry, AppDynamics solutions help you deploy your applications more quickly and with more confidence.
