AWS X-Ray SDK for Java

AWS X-Ray recommends using AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) to instrument your application instead of this X-Ray SDK due to its wider range of features and instrumentations. The AWS X-Ray SDK for Java is compatible with Java 8 and 11. Applications may make downstream HTTP calls to communicate with other applications. If these downstream applications are also traced, trace context information will need to be passed so that the trace segments may be properly grouped into a single trace. It may be useful to further decorate portions of an application for which performance is critical. Generating subsegments around these hot spots will help in understanding their impact on application performance. There are a few different styles available for tracing custom methods.You can automatically inject your current Trace ID into logging statements if you use the Log4J or SLF4J logging frontends.
