[jopr-dev] Introduction and first question

Hi, I am interested in some slight modifications to Jopr and RHQ that I am going to try my luck with over the next couple of weeks. In particular, I want to introduce dependencies between components (on a single host, between components on differents in the same domain and inter-domain) that can be displayed to users. I am also interested in plugins for SOAP runtimes, such as Axis, the ActiveBPEL engine and some Grid middleware, all of which I will hopefully be able to contribute. My first question is to do with the new Tomcat plugin. Discovery of Tomcat works, but the plugin mistakenly insists that the Tomcat instance is not available. I found that its EMSConnection is not servicing any requests, which results in a corresponding exception and the connection to be closed. Hence, the plugin does not successfully collect any metrics I would like it to. JConsole on the same host works fine and allows me to inspect all the MBeans. Does anyone have any ideas why the the Tomcat plugin's connection is not responsive (using the same URL as for JConsole)? Thanks, -- Bruno
