This topic discusses the WebSphere Application Server Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) resources and their lifecycle events.
The following resources are discussed in detail. Review WSDM manageability capabilities for WebSphere Application Server resource types for information about each resource endpoint address and manageability capabilities.
WebSphere Application Server
The application server instances support definitional notifications. Whenever the configuration of an application server is created, modified, or deleted, a notification is generated by the WebSphere Application Server domain. The notification includes the configuration documents that have been changed.
WebSphere Application Server installation
The product installation is performed and managed by the underlying operating system. There is no runtime entity that represents the product installation. There are no lifecycle notifications currently planned for events related to the product installation. There are no state event notifications associated with the lifecycle of the overall product installation.
WebSphere Application Server domain - profile or runtime configuration instance
In version 6.1 and earlier releases of the product, there is no administrative process associated with the profile. Therefore, there is no entity available to emit event notifications for the profile in version 6.1. with Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) support.
WebSphere Application Server deployed object
An application is a combination of one or more deployed objects. In version 6.1 and earlier releases of the product, the definition and state of any deployed object is the same as that of its parent application. Therefore, in version 6.1 and prior releases of the product, there are no lifecycle notifications for individual deployed objects except in the case of Web services.
Web service
Even though Web services are not robust applications, there is a need to understand the lifecycle for these essential deployed objects. In version 6.1 of the product, lifecycle notifications are generated whenever a Web service is installed, modified, started, stopped or uninstalled.
