Hello Andrey, Thank you for your interest in the WSDM tooling and using the Managed Resources Explorer to look at WSDM resources like the ones generated using Apache Muse. As Andrew pointed out, the Managed Agent Explorer (MAX) is in development and any bugs and features you find, I'd request that you bring them to our notice through the Eclipse bugzilla. A number of features you are interested in are already in the works for the TPTP 4.4 release in June (to coincide with the Eclipse Europa release). For a list of features/bugs we are currently working on:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd=TPTP%204.4%20features%20for%20WSDM%20Tooling (Features) https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd=TPTP%204.4%20bugs%20for%20WSDM%20Tooling (bugs) See the bottom of this note for instructions. Also it would be very helpful if we can continue this discussion on the TPTP mailing lists, instructions to which are attached below as well. Now about management applications interacting with WSDM resources, I am aware of a number of IBM products that are getting ready on that front. The first that I am aware of is the recently announced WSDM Collector Agent for IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Please go to http://catalog.lotus.com/wps/portal/topal/ and search for WSDM. The first link leads to the above page. Out of the box, the WSDM Generic Collector Engine can monitor the WebSphere Application Server using the WSDM capability that was delivered in WAS 6.1 Web Services Feature Pack beta ( https://www14.software.ibm.com/iwm/web/cc/earlyprograms/websphere/wsvwas61/ ). Through minor configuration, the engine can collect specified resource state from any WSDM enabled resource. Any resource that you can enable for WSDM (using the Eclipse TPTP tooling for WSDM for example) can be monitored by ITM. If you are interested in the ITM capability for WSDM please send me a note and I'll get you in contact with the right people to help setup that. I had posted this earlier but here can't find a link to the archives so here are the instructions: Please open bugs and enhancement requests on the Eclipse WSDM tooling at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs Choose Report a new bug or Enter an enhancement/feature request accordingly. You will need to create a bugzilla ID (simple process) at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/createaccount.cgi The Eclipse project in which the WSDM tooling currently resides is TPTP (Test and Performance Tools). So choose that in the list of projects next. Finally for version choose 4.3 (if you are using the release build) or 4.4 (if you are using the development build). For component please choose Monitor.UI.ManagedResourcesExplorer. You can also ask tooling related questions at the TPTP user's mailing list: http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/tptp-monitoring-tools-dev We are currently developing WSDM tooling that will part of the main GA stream in TPTP 4.4, so your comments, feature suggestions and bug reports would be most helpful.

Let's assume it is a simple resource that has startup/shutdown operations and a set of tunable properties, very similar to the httpd example bundled with the Muse. May be I would wish to add some advertisement capabilities as well. I wonder if there could be a tool which can, at least, read/write to these properties and call start/shutdown. > proxy generation that we have in the command-line tooling? Yes, I also tried the client code which is generated by wsdl2java tool (I found that taking that code is pretty much equivalent to taking and modifying the examples bundled with the Muse). My client extends WsResourceClient and it works pretty well with the resource. Actually, I'm more interested to know at this point what else except my client will be able to talk to my app. I think I also can do a simpler communication between client and managed resource with help of RMI or JAX-WS or whatever. But, if the management interface is a standard WSDM one, I assume there must be variety of apps capable of managing it, right?
