title: Profiling a Java EE Application
body: <p>What does a Profiler do exactly?</p>
  
  <p>I ran the JProbe profiler on my Java EE Application.
  For now I selected Performance Analysis only. When I investigated the code, it showed how many times each method gets called and how much time it took. It gave me a clear view of these things.</p>
  
  <p>Now my question is, what in general does a profiler do exactly? The only thing it seems to do is showing how many times a method is called and how much time each method took?</p>
  
  <p>Does Profiling a Java EE application indeed only means this thing? (In the concern of Performance Analyses only) </p>
