I am using Swing along with Oracle 9 at the back end.My application is big and I have many tables in the DB..I want to track users activities in my application..What would be the simplest way???????

Some form of auditing mechanism?
Either attached to your gui/business layer boundary or the business/database layer boundary, depending on whether it's user activity or data modification you are monitoring. Spring (I think) has an auditing mechanism.

Beyond that, your "requirement" is pretty open, so anything approaching a detailed answer is not possible.

Is it possible to implement Google Analytics in Swing Application????? In Goggle analytics google asks to insert some JavaScript code in every page of the application, the code includes browers objects but my application is not running in the brower so where to write the JS code???

Sounds a bit excessive...especially since you'd have to figure out how to shoehorn a Javascript web-analysis tool into a Swing app.

This is the sort of thing I was thinking of (and have used).
Spring AOP.
Specifically the stuff around @Auditable.

It would be very nice of you if you could share source code atleast some part of your source code where you have implemented this.

This is what I need but how to implement this in Java Swing?

I don't know how you'd implement it, but in any case it wouldn't be "in Swing".
It would be in your business layer or db layer (well, the boundary anyway).

You'll need to learn Spring, frankly. It's not something a website forum like this can cover.
