JaxView requires the user to place a small jar file at the container where the Web service to be monitored and manged is located. This handler tells the Web service container to forward a copy of the message to the Stub which in turn the Stub forwards to the JaxView management server.
There are two main steps for using agent stubs to collect Web service message data for JaxView:
JaxView agent stubs must be installed on the servers where the Web service applications are running. The stubs are designed to be installed in the application container (servlet or context container). The steps you use are similar for different containers. The following are the servlet containers that are currently supported by JaxView. Click on the name of the application type you nedd to monitor for more information on how to install the agent stub for that application server.
If you don't see the container type that you need, please contact support@managedmethods.com and we'll help you install a Stub on this container.
After you have installed the agent stubs on the application servers, you must configure JaxView to connect to the stubs to receive messages. You do this by adding a Agent Stub connection defintion object to the Admin object tree in JaxView. See the Administration Options section for more information on how to configure the agent stub connection definition in JaxView.
