I am writing a tool, which should be able to measure the execution time of a servlet's method from client side. Not the whole servlet's, only one method's. To measure the running time of the whole servlet, I set a start-time then created a URLConnection with the servlet's URL, opened the connection, got the inputstream, read the inputstream, closed the connection and then set an end-time and calculated the elapsed time with a subtraction. But this time I'd like to measure only one method of the servlet and avoid calculating parameter reading and checking and such thing. I guess it's only possible in the servlet itself, but I need the measured value sent back to the client side program. Is it possible somehow? Or am I on the wrong path?
Thanks in advance!
No, this is not possible. You do not have control over what and how is executed on the server side being on the client side.
