Category Settings

The DevTest Java Agent assigns a category to each transaction frame. If the agent cannot determine the category, the default category is assigned.

You can configure the agent to associate an intercepted class or interface with one of the non-default categories. Add the category directive to the rules.xml file of the agent. Specify the class or interface name and the category number.

The category directive has the following format:

<category class="class_or_interface_name" value="category_number"/>

The category directive must be placed within the broker element.

The valid category numbers are:

• CATEGORY_DEFAULT = 0
• CATEGORY_THREAD = 5
• CATEGORY_THROWABLE = 10
• CATEGORY_GUI = 7
• CATEGORY_GUI_SWT = 9
• CATEGORY_LOGGING = 15
• CATEGORY_WEB_HTTP = 20
• CATEGORY_WEB_HTTPS = 21
• CATEGORY_WS_HTTP = 22
• CATEGORY_WS_HTTPS = 23
• CATEGORY_REST_HTTP = 24
• CATEGORY_RMI = 30
• CATEGORY_RMI_HTTP = 31
• CATEGORY_RMI_SSL = 32
• CATEGORY_EJB = 40
• CATEGORY_JDBC = 50
• CATEGORY_JCA = 55
• CATEGORY_JMS = 60
• CATEGORY_MQ = 61
• CATEGORY_WM = 62
• CATEGORY_TIBCO = 64
• CATEGORY_AMX = 70
• CATEGORY_FRAMEWORK = 80
• CATEGORY_CLIENT = 90
• CATEGORY_CICS = 100
• CATEGORY_WPS = 120
• CATEGORY_SAP = 130
• CATEGORY_SYNTHETIC_ROOT = 140
• CATEGORY_DN_DEFAULT = 1000
• CATEGORY_DN_REMOTING = 1010
• CATEGORY_DN_SQL = 1020

Example:

<category class="com.mycompany.GuiClass" value="7"/>

Note: While possible, it is not recommended to change the categories of transaction frames that are already assigned a non-default category by the agent.
