At my new assignment, I need to understand a mid level Java application. To understand the flow faster, I had this idea that if I could see at runtime functions are being called, which function finally responded, then I could really get the whole map in my mind.



I've worked with tools like AppDynamics which tells the latency/DB calls etc. But what I am looking after is something which will tell me the flow at Runtime.
Like,
Controller.getStudent() -> Service.getStudent() -> Repository.getStudent() -> ....



I am wondering if there are any tools/techniques as such. Like recording a stacktrace in debug mode. I can imagine a tool doing Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace(). Does anybody have some idea regarding how can do this? (I'm using Springboot and Jboss)



Edit: I'm not really looking after logging, debugging etc. I feel there could be something which could tell what functions are being executed. And determine if there are any limitations.

  • with Spring-boot, you can add an aspect to auto-add trace on method being called
