WS Management.NEXT in GlassFish
In GlassFish v1, we added support for Web Services automatic discovery, monitoring and integrated with Web Services registry. GlassFish v1 also supports message level security and XSLT transformation. Using these features one can secure Web Services on the wire and also do performance monitoring, track usage, analyze failures and do debugging during development. Refer to this article and screencast for more details on v1 features.
We are planning to extend the existing Web Services monitoring capabilities in GlassFish with more sophisticated features such as Activity Monitoring, Service Monitoring, Policy Management and Service Testing and Validation. Activity Monitoring lets you monitor and view only interested activities rather than monitoring all web service calls and increases administrator's productivity. Service Monitoring enables monitoring key service levels such performance and availability targets and alerts if the boundary conditions are broken for immediate attention. Each web service deployment has its own policies to enforce in terms of Inter-operability and security requirements. We allow easier management of these policies. Service Testing provides a easy to do testing and verify key deployment properties like inter-operability and makes sure that web services work for all possible kinds of inputs.
Refer to this document and presentation for more details on the planned features. Please give us feedback via comments on blog.
