Having recently been working with the current version of the Open ESB Component Development Kit (CDK) I decided to try and build the current Component Tool Kit Client GUI as a NetBeans Module that provided a number of extra project types. The functionality I provide is built upon the existing core CDK project templates and I hope will provide an alternative interface to the building Open ESB Components. Because I build upon the existing CDK templates I am currently restricted to the functionality that they provide and need to work within the restriction that it imposes.

As a quick extension to my previous blog entries based around the Open ESB WLM SE and interfacing using your own IDE. In my examples Visual Web Pack and ICEFaces I have created a bare bones SoapUI Project that is based on the TaskCommon.wsdl. If you download this and tweak the URLs then you will be able to quickly test your deployments.

• SoapUI.
• TaskCommon SoapUI Project.

If you downloaded the WLM SE Component installer on or after the 9th March 2009 you will notice that the TaskCommon.wsdl has been changed from a concrete implementation to an abstract implementation and hence you will not be able use it directly without modifying the Composite Applications Service Assembly.

To allow remote access you will need to connect the TaskCommonPort to a SOAP BC as below and configure it as follows:

• Name : TaskCommonPort
• Binding : TaskCommonBinding
• soap:address : http://localhost:${HttpDefaultPort}/wfse/TaskCommon

Once configured you will be able to connect the SOAP UI Project.

The WLM SE provides a simple Web based Worklist Manager that allows users to review, Checkout and Complete Tasks assigned to them. This is a very basic interface and in unlikely, although it can be modified, to provide exactly what you want. Given that most users would like their own Company specific interface linking in with their portal and access control system they  may well need to write their own interface.

This blog will take you through implementing a ICEFaces interface to the WLM SE processes. By its nature I intend to make this a simplistic implementation but hopefully show how it can be done. In my previous blog I will repeated the process using the Visual Web Pack interface.[Read More]
