Native ADK (C++) client calling java web service
HI,
We are using native ADK for C++ web service client calling Java webservices...
What x-dynatrace (key/value) should we set exactly in the request header (in our C++ client) to propagate the PurePath ID.
Is the ID key the correct & enough ? see in : Integration with Web Load Testing and Monitoring Tools
Thanks a lot for your response.

Hi Philippe,
Please see Native ADK#Tagging. The PP Id needs to be passed along and can be requested from the agent itself.
The Load testing integration is more for when you want to tell dT a synthetic test is coming and to identify it, this is a separate topic.
Let me know how you advance.
KR,

From that page:
Tag FormatTags are represented either as a 30-byte buffer or as a string. The string representation has the following format:
FW<tag-version>;<server id><agent id>;<tag id>;<hop count>;<entry agent id>;<entry tag id>;<path mode indicator>
Example: FW0;1;1481367847;0;4;1481367847;0;0
I hope this helps.
KR,

Thanks Kristof,
In fact to be more precise we use ADK tagging on the C++ client and we use a C++ http client stack calling a remote Java web service
The java web service running on JBoss is already instrumented with standard sensor (Servlet and WebService).
We don't want to develop a specific Jboss HTTP interceptor / filter with Java ADK.
So we though that we could use a specific DT Request Attribute in the HTTP request (where we put the PP ID) that will be automatically interpreted by the Servlet Sensor to continue the PurePath on the remote JBOss server.
So if I understand we could pass the TAG format as String within the request as a x-dynatrace Request Attribute / Headers
Thanks Again
Phil
