ABSTRACT
One successful example of Java and Oracle integration is the monitoring applet. It is relatively easy to implement and can be very useful for monitoring production systems. This chapter considers all the steps to take in building and running this simple monitoring tool. The first part of the chapter covers the data schema definition, the applet’s core structure, and methods, while the second part discusses how the applet displays runtime statistics. All scripts mentioned in this chapter and the code for the applet is available for downloading from Oracle Internal’s Code Depot at www.auerbach-publications.com/ scripts/monitor.html.
