None, you can't add a context to the JUL domain.

No. For JUL you enable "Logger" names from the JUL API. For instance:
$ lttng enable-event -j MyLogger
or to enable all loggers
$ lttng enable-event -j -a
Using the lttng-ctl API, -a == "*".
For the kernel syscalls, yeah well this is a tracer limitation that we
can't enable/disable specific syscalls but fortunately this year we'll
bring this feature! :)

Hrm, I've not observed that. If a specific Linux user with let say UID =
1000, the Java application registering to the session deamon is set with
UID = 1000. Don't forget that the JUL support uses JNI to link with
lttng-ust and that library registers as a the user.

Agreed. I'll be updating lttng.1 before the stable release.
THanks!

What are the possible context types then? Or is it just that you can't apply a filter to a jul event?

So you turn jul events on and off using enable/disable-event --all instead? This is getting a tad confusing: jul events force you to use only enable/disable-event but kernel syscalls force you to use only enable/disable-channel...

A Java application is interpreted and runs in a Java virtual machine (JVM). The userID and processID of any jul events are thus likely to be those of the JVM process. I would expect Java apps launched by separate users to launch separate JVM instances, but I would also expect two separate Java apps launched by the same user to share a single JVM (the user's) and, therefore, their process IDs. This could get fun with multi-threaded Java apps.

We definitely need an additional section in "lttng.1".
