InheritanceMessagePerformanceUtils Inheritance Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Versions: BlazeDS 4, LiveCycle Data Services 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The MessagePerformanceUtils utility class is used to retrieve various metrics about the sizing and timing of a message sent from a client to the server and its response message, as well as pushed messages from the server to the client. Metrics are gathered when corresponding properties on the channel used are enabled: <record-message-times> denotes capturing of timing information, <record-message-sizes> denotes capturing of sizing information.

You can then use methods of this utility class to retrieve various performance information about the message that you have just received.

When these metrics are enabled an instance of this class should be created from a response, acknowledgement, or message handler via something like:
