A quick question from someone who looking at options.
If we create a new service / API using the Open ESB product can the ESB Runtime still be purchased to host these within a live environment? If not is there a recommended approach to deploying / hosting them to be used in a live environment which can be monitored with alerts if anything fails?
Yes. If you produce collateral in the Open Source edition and later want to upgrade to the Enterprise edition, you will be able to migrate your code quite easily.
Hi, Thanks for the reply but I m not convinced I asked the question in the right way. Basically if I use Open ESB what environment / software do I need to deploy a solution into. i.e. ESB Runtime or is there an open source equivalent?
Both the Open Source and the Enterprise product use Apache Karaf for the ESB Runtime. The only difference is that in the Enterprise edition you get more integrated into the ESB Runtime (Apache Karaf).
1-I did a first test on a local runtime (On my PC). I can connect successfully from the webconsole http://localhost:8080/hawtio/jvm/connectwith these parameters:
Host: localhost
Port: 8040
Path: jolokia
2-Now I want to monitor our server runtimes.
I ran these commandes in Karaf:
feature:repo-add hawtio 1.5.6
feature:install hawtio
Then I ran the console on my PC:
http://localhost:8080/hawtio/jvm/connectand try to connect with these parameters:
Host: <myservername>
Port: 8040
Path: jolokia
But it doesn't work. Hawtio is asking for a login/password. I tried many things (karaf/karaf for instance) but it doesn't work.
I can enter any server name (Even a wrong one), I get the same result...
Do you manage connect to a remote karaf server through Hawtio ?
You can download Hawtio, run its jar file in the JVM completly outside Karaf, then access it locally and parameter it to browse your karaf runtime as well as ActiveMQ is you use it.
