I have been searching for a grails plugin that ca be used to simulate requests. I have a jersey service that calls some helper methods and I’m trying to check if any of these methods are bottleneck method, I found this JavaMelody Grails Plugin, . But, this tool does not create request simulation, it rather measure the actual traffic.
Anybody knows a free profiler that can drill down to the helper methods level?
A combination of load simulator, like Jmeter, as well as a profiling tool are your best bet to get the sorts of information I think you are after. Though I try not to promote proprietary solutions, New Relic will, I think, give you the sorts of real-time profiling you are after.
