In The Spotlight November 2011

In TKU November 2011 we have made several updates to the Extended J2EE Discovery patterns such as BEA WebLogic Application Server (discovery more reliable) and IBM WebSphere Application Server (added support for resources deployed on cluster-level).

A new feature that was added however is Extended J2EE Discovery of Red Hat JBoss Application Server.
This new Discovery pattern enables Atrium Discover version 8.3 and later to identify all deployed J2EE applications, JDBC Resources (with modeling needed Communication links to related Database servers) and Java Mail Resources available to any running JBoss servers.
Also it is worth mentioning that different JBoss versions are supported - v5 onwards including v7 which has a considerably different architecture

The pattern's discovery approach is based mostly on reading configuration files for newer versions of JBoss AS (7.0.0 and newer) and analyzing the contents of deployment directories for older versions of JBoss as all resources are deployable objects as applications.

J2EE Applications have additional 'running' attribute indicating their status:

JDBC Resource nodes include the required Database attributes which allows Atrium Discovery to create Communication relationships with related Database Servers:
