Version 11

    Status

     

    Inactive - RHQ functionality will only be provided through the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.

     

    Goals

     

    The goals of the IronJacamar RHQ plugin is to provide a RHQ 4 plugin for the IronJacamar container which exposes the metrics and operations of the deployed resource adapters.

     

    Second, it is to provide a RHQ platform for the standalone IronJacamar distribution using the GWT based user interface as the new management UI.

     

    Design

    1. RHQ 4 + Plugin + Embedded JCA

    2. RHQ 4 + Plugin + Standalone JCA

    3. JBoss AS 7 + Connector subsystem +  Model type + Console

    Implementation

     

    The management integration with IronJacamar must be built based on the

     

    org.jboss.jca.core.api.management
    

     

    package. A

     

    org.jboss.jca.core.api.management.ManagementRepository

     

    instance must be injected into the RHQ plugin in order to etablish the connection between the plugin and the container.

     

    Some important interfaces and classes:

     

    • org.jboss.jca.rhq.core.Discover SPI for discovery (getManagementRepository)
    • org.jboss.jca.rhq.core.EmbeddedJcaDiscover Test implementation of Discover using embedded IronJacamar
    • org.jboss.jca.rhq.core.BaseResourceComponent Base class to implement basic methods of the ResourceComponent interfaces
    • IronJacamarResourceDiscoveryComponent and IronJacamarResourceComponent "Root" RHQ components of inventory tree

     

    Inventory tree:

     

    IronJacamar_AS7

      - Resource Adapters

        - xa.rar

          - ResourceAdpater

            - ConfigProperty

            - (operations)

          - Connection Factories

            - jndiName

              - ManagedConnectionFactory

                - ConfigProperty

              - PoolConfiguration

              - Pool

              - (operations)

          - AdminObjects

            - jndiName

              - ConfigProperty

      - Datasources

       - jndiName

       - PoolConfiguration

       - Pool

     

     

    Code

     

     

     

    To build rhq plugin for IronJacamar:

     

    svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-jca/trunk/ jboss-jca
    cd jboss-jca
    ant -Dmodule=rhq module-test
    

     

    Then the plugin could been found:

    ./build/rhq/ironjacamar-rhq-test-all.jar

    How to run plugin on RHQ 4

     

     

    cd <RHQ_Server>/bin
    ./rhq-server.sh start
    

     

    • browse http://localhost:7080
    • Install RHQ database and do post-install (use h2 sql as test database and use standalone agent)
    • Download RHQ agent jar from Administrator -> Download and install it into a empty directory
    • login in to RHQ console (rhqadmin : rhqadmin)
    • Administrator -> Plugin, Install ironjacamar-rhq-plugin.jar
    • Start RHQ agent

     

    cd <RHQ_Agent>/bin
    ./rhq-agent.sh
    
    • Inventory -> Discovery Queue, find IronJacamar
    • click "import" button on the bottom
    • Inventory -> Servers, click IronJacamar
    • right click IronJacamar, Create Child, choose to upload xa.rar
    • refresh on the inventory tab, the inventory tree should show
