[FreeMarker-user] Execution time of called method from custom shared variable classes

[Jan Haderka]

Hi,

I need to find out execution time of some class called from the template. It's the class with bunch of static methods and I would ideally need to know cumulative time spent in all those calls (as opposed to rendering itself). The examples of usages would be from

${classX.callA(some param)}

to

[#if classX.doTest() ]

etc.

The class above is made available via shared variables.

I understand that I need to modify the code was wondering if anyone could suggest what would be the best class to extend to add such monitoring and to collect the time.
Is there a singe point through which all calls to shared variable methods go?
Is TemplateMethodModel.exec() the right place where to measure such thing or do I need to extend more (or something else then model) depending on where the call happens?

Thanks in advance,

You could extend BeansWrapper and override invokeMethod and measure
super.invokeMethod. However, there are two problems with it:

- You will also measure the overhead of Method.invoke and the time
needed for wrapping the return value into TemplateModel.

- It's not a public method, so you can only override it if your new class
will be in freemarker.ext.beans package. This means that you will
have no backward-compatibility guarantees.
