Accessing Statistics

 If your application has a WOStats page, you can look at the statistics that WOStatisticsStore gathers. WOStats is a reusable component stored in the WOExtensions framework (which WebObjects applications link to by default). While your application is running, you can access the WOStats page with a URL like the following:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa/wa/WOStats
Note: You can access any component directly using a URL with this form.

Figure 37 shows a WOStats page.

Figure 37. WOStats Page

The source for the WOStats page is provided, along with the source for all of the components in the WOExtensions framework, in /System/Developer/Examples/WebObjects/Source/WOExtensions (NeXT_ROOT\Developer\Examples\WebObjects\Source\WOExtensions on Windows NT systems).

If you want access to statistics programmatically, send the WOStatisticsStore a statistics message. For example:

// WebScript

NSDictionary *myDict = [[[self application] 
statisticsStore] 

		statistics];
// Java

NSDictionary myDict = 

	this.application().statisticsStore().statistics;
For a list of keys to this dictionary, see the WOStatisticsStore class specification in the WebObjects Class Reference.

Note that this dictionary is created on demand. It is costly to call this method repeatedly.
