Web Services Distributed Management resource management

Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) is an OASIS approved standard that supports the management of resources through a standardized Web service interface. WSDM delivers Web services based interfaces to manage WebSphere Application Server resources using a manageability endpoint.

The manageability endpoint contains manageability capabilities for the resources. A manageability capability uniquely identifies and associates with a set of properties, operations, and events. A resource that supports one or more manageability capabilities becomes a manageable resource. For example, a manageable resource is a server or an application resource that supports a capability, which includes stop, start, and remove operations. To leverage the functions that a manageable resource provides, a manageability consumer is used. Manageability consumer queries and discovers the available manageable resources through the Web services endpoints. After the service is discovered, the manageability consumer exchanges messages to gather property information, invoke operations or receive notifications. Figure 4, Relationship between the different parts of WSDM illustrates the relationships between the manageability consumer and manageable resources linked by the Web service endpoints.
