Discovery by monitoring
The goal of discovery by monitoring is to detect services by monitoring service calls and exchanges between applications, and register them in the Nuxeo-based service registry, where it will be displayed with the corresponding "network" icon lighted up :
Discovery by monitoring is done by a custom HTTP proxy server. EasySOA comes with an embedded one out of the box. It works only with SOAP and RESTful web services at this moment.
Services calls done using EasySOA Light Service Scaffolder are monitored by the embedded HTTP proxy server by default.
For that, you just have to tell your own service clients to use it as an HTTP proxy. You can either use the one that is builtin in the release (available at http://localhost:8082/), or deploy and run your own instance in your information system (see details below).
It is built to run with FraSCAti (1.4 or more). To run it in standalone, you have to start the SCA component named "httpProxy" using FraSCAti. This component describes the http proxy and the http proxy driver interface.
This proxy accepts HTTP "GET" and HTTP SOAP POST requests. The original messages are not modified.
