in eclipse, i have a weblogic server running, and a j2ee application deployed to it. the application is serving on port 7001. i want to hook the monitor up to the application, i do not know what ports to use. i think i know what to put in for the Host Name (localhost:7001), but not sure of what to use for type and Local Port. in the proeferences, what is meant by Local Port. does it matter if i start the monitor before or after the application is running? my goal is the watch the traffic as i login, from my local machine via a browser, and surf to other parts of the application. thanks for any help
It would be nice if you commented how you figured it out so that future visitors can learn from you.

A:
The monitor basically acts as a proxy. The local monitoring port is the port you will send requests to the monitor on. It can be any free port (7002, for example).
The host name, port, and type describe what you want the monitor to proxy to. In your case, it would be localhost, 7001, and HTTP.
Then, you would use your browser to access localhost:7002, and the proxied requests and responses would be displayed in the monitor.
