There is a case where this might not actually give you what you are looking for -- which sounds essentially like the amount of time the server spent processing that request. If StandardWrapperValve only times how long invoke() takes and (and I haven't read the code, so I'm not sure) some component in Tomcat executes *after* invoke() completes for the purposes of flushing any buffered data back to the client, then "Processing Time" may be off by the amount of time it takes Tomcat to flush those buffers back to the client. If you have big buffers or slow clients, this could add up quickly. -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
