DENNIS,

Thank you for good words.
I’ll take them in mind.
>> execute your Java programs on a test system
>> then you need to use more in-depth methods, rather than persisting in 
simplistic solutions
>> Usually their approach is to tell the DBA to "fix that"

We have here, just finished J2EE application in production.
~20-40 modules. Application written by 60-100 developers during 1 year.
There are ~100 concurrent users works with different applications modules 
during working day.
Quite difficult to emulate situations we have in productions (performance, 
deadlock etc.) in test environment using one user connection ;). We are 
using Rational Robot for stress testing. But there still situations in 
productions that we are not able to reproduce in test environment.

>> then you need to use more in-depth methods, rather than persisting in 
simplistic solutions
I wouldn’t say we are fear from depth methods. I am ready to. But it seams 
the problem solver need to have dip knowledge about application code for 
successfully fighting with problems. DBA nowadays have many 
responsibilities and looks like dipper methods will take more time from 
daily duties.

>> Usually their approach is to tell the DBA to "fix that"
It look like you confirm my words. 
DBA need to work with OC4J as with BLACK BOX. 
“Developers telling to fix” and DBA fixing 
if “if the problems don't to go away “ 
then call Developers for next loop and wait for next solution, without 
knowledge that happening inside of OC4J.

Jurijs
     You are correct that it would be great if someone documented 
everything
you could ever want to know about OC4J. Since you don't seem to have that,
there are a couple of other approaches you can take. Here are some ideas 
for
you:
   - You can execute your Java programs on a test system without other 
users
and get some good traces to use with Cary's methods. If that doesn't 
expose
the problems sufficiently, then you at least have gained some experience
with the types of traces you will see so that if you decide you must turn 
on
tracing on the production system you won't be totally bewildered.
   - While it is nice to have the "heavy artillery" for solving problems,
bear in mind that most problems are of a simpler nature and can be 
resolved
without the more in-depth methods. Just keep in mind that if the problems
don't seem to go away when you apply simple solutions, then you need to 
use
more in-depth methods, rather than persisting in simplistic solutions.
   - In my experience, few Java programmers are concerned with database
issues. Usually their approach is to tell the DBA to "fix that". I think 
the
DBA needs to learn something about Java and how it tends to interact with
the database. Particularly if you use an Oracle product like OC4J, this 
will
be viewed as a DBA issue.
 
The key point is that in the end the performance problems must be 
understood
so the organization can take steps to correct them. How to find the 
problems
may require some study and ingenuity on your part. Don't give up!

Tank you for responce, 

Unfortunately I already have book you mention  (9i JDeveloper Handbook) ;( 

There a little bit more information, but not so match, as I would like to
;(. 
As I wrote, I will be indefinitely happy if it will be the information 
about
OC4J like about RDBMS. 
Cary Millsap and others Oracle experts have written excellent books about
Oracle wait interface and how to face performance issues. Unfortunately as
far as I know, there no possibility to use R-Method or other response-time
based performance-tuning method without written own code for debugging
purposes. 
I am just DBA and you know, I have no big expense with Java programming. 
At the moment it looks like the good OC4J administrator will be Java top
developer who perfectly know Java world. ;( 

By my expense Looks like traditional DBA is unpowerful in many OC4J
performance tuning situations.

The tinyurl included points to the 9i JDeveloper Handbook, which is for 
the
last version of the product. The JDeveloper 10g Handbook is also listed on
Amazon, but isn't published yet. The publication date is early this fall,
say, September.

However, the 10g book doesn't contain much information about the internals
of OC4J. (I'm one of the technical editors.) But the authors, I know, have
encountered similar problems. You might try contacting Paul Dorsey 
directly
(see his company's web site at http://www.dulcian.com) with specific
questions. He is usually more than willing to offer advice.

There is another book on Amazon about JDeveloper:
Oracle JDeveloper 10G: Empowering J2EE Development

One of the co-authors is Roel Stallman, who is the major Oracle evangelist
(that may be his official job title) for JDeveloper. This book may contain
more on the internals and architecture, although I haven't looked at it.

Yes it does.  Thanks a lot for posting it, there is
very little information about this library.

There is a book out from Oracle Press, I think, that
deals with JDeveloper in detail.  Maybe you'd find some
additional info there?

will take you to it.
HTH.
