Oracle Service Bus 11g: statistics projects and services with WLST – part 2 by Michel Schildmeijer

codeOSBstatsAs a follow-up on my earlier blogpost about how to list all your projects and services in your OSB domain, I’ve extended the script with some count statistics. Look at this screenshot below. I blacked out the names for the services.

In the example I have used I extended it with some statistic counts on some Proxy services. Now at this moment the script errors out on non monitored services, but that is because I did not implement a check if a service is monitored or not. Which should be done by checking if the value of isMonitoringEnabled in the CommonServiceConfigurationMBean is set to true.

Look below at some of the code. The first section is to get the list of projects and their proxy or business services (in my example I used proxy services). With a for loop on the getAllResourceStatistics method I filtered out the statistics I’d like to see: some counts about pipeline and SLA. Read the full article here.

Enterprise Service Bus article part of Industrial SOA series

Everyone seems to need to use an enterprise service bus (ESB) nowadays, but there is so much confusion about its actual benefit and the various concepts this term entails. This uncertainity is revealed in statements like, "Help! My boss says we need an ESB," or "Why do I need an ESB at all? Can’t I achieve the same thing with BPEL or BPMN?" or even "We can do everything ourselves in language X." This article is an attempt to answer some of the most important questions surrounding this term using concrete examples, so that the areas of application that can be deemed "correct" for ESBs can be clarified:

  • What exactly is the definition of an ESB? Is it a product or an architecture pattern?
  • What are some practical uses for an ESB?
  • Do I need an ESB to build an SOA platform?
  • Which requirements do I need to satisfy?
  • Which criteria can I use to select the ESB that is most suitable for my needs?

Defining the ESB
An accepted definition for this term has yet to be firmly established that is most likely caused by a lack of industry standards, whereas standards like BPEL and BPMN 2.0 exist for process engines and other components. The term “Enterprise Service Bus” was coined by Gartner in 2002, and further introduced by the analyst Roy Schulte to describe a category of software products that he observed were available on the market at that time. Ten years later, there is still very little agreement on what exactly an ESB is or what it should deliver. There are different definitions depending on the manufacturer or source. Among other things, an ESB is defined as:

"A style of integration architecture that allows communication via a common communication bus that consists of a variety of point-to-point connections between providers and users of services."

"An infrastructure that a company uses for integrating services in the application landscape."
