The growing use of Services-Oriented Architectures puts
pressure on application developers relying on Web services for key features of
their applications.
Performance, scalability, and reliability of
these components affect the ability of applications to meet Service-Level
Agreements, yet can't easily be analyzed as a part of the application when
developers have a problem. In fact, the Web service may be on a different
software platform than the rest of the application. This session will
explore how developers can shed light on memory use in Web services written in
either .NET or Java, even if they didn't write the
code and write their own applications on the other platform.
