Chris, I think before going for performance tuning you would have to decide on two things- A Load Generator and a Performance Profiler. Then you generate load and profile the application to find out exactly which layer\section of code\network needs to be tuned\upgraded. Then you focus on tuning of that particular section.You dont want to spend hours tuning Java code when the problem lies in a different layer. I find this prioritization of the object of tuning more important than the tuning itself, which in most cases is trivial. Thanks, Rahul

Our application has a pretty standard stack of J2EE, WebLogic, Oracle, Struts, JavaScript, plus some web services and SOAP, so I'm interested in any recommendations anyone has for any of those. I found one apparently classic text on "Oracle Performance Tuning" from O'Reilly (aka the "bee" book) but it's from 1996 and apparently hasn't been updated since, so I'm concerned that it's so out-of-date I wouldn't be able to use it. What would you recommend? Thanks!
