Hibernate Performance Monitoring

Joseph Marques has a very good blog (good in both substance and technical details) on how you can analyze the performance of your Hibernate application through the use of a simple set of utility classes. He even goes into how you can do this inside your EJB3 app. We do this when analyzing performance in RHQ (in addition to using RHQ itself to do some analysis). Joe's code examples show that it's a solution that is easily transferable to any Java application that uses Hibernate as its ORM layer.
