[Wtp-wst-dev] TCP/IP Monitor integration for STP Policy Editor extension project
|
Hi all,
I'm into developing a plugin as an extension of STP Policy Editor for Eclipse STP project. The proposed project is primarily a tool which extracts WS: compliant policy from different XML wire type messages it has been provided with and will be integrated with STP policy editor for enabling interaction with derived STP Policy instances. (for more information on this project please visit
"Policy derivation tool for STP Policy Editor")
One of the most important requirements of all , for the
aforementioned tool is to provide it with Live message streams to extract ws
compliant policy instances for the real time messages coming from Web Services
, ESB’s and other SOA end points. For such requirement ,we have decided to go with, Eclipse TCP/IP monitor (org.eclipse.wst.internet.monitor ) since it's an internal component of Eclipse and do provide necessary functionality for this scenario, very nicely as well. You can further find detailed
explanation and our idea of integration in
TCP monitoring Tool Integration .
As mentioned in the above references , we need some extensions to register TCP/IP monitor as a message source , so that we can redirect intercepted messages for this policy extraction tool .
I did little UI modifications to the TCP/IP monitor view , to get an approximate idea of how integration could happen (
sample1 ,
sample2 ,
sample3 ). We are also planning to put up a separate view using "org.eclipse.wst.internet.monitor.ui.viewers" extension point of the Monitor UI plugin , so that we could create a modified view to display policy headers (of SOAP Messages) and policy related message parts. Another concern is getting the whole message (Body+ Headers) from the request, since currently only the Message body/content (ie:- SOAP Body) is displayed for intercepted messages in TCP/IP Monitor view.This is a major requirement since message headers (ie-SOAP Headers) are essential for the extraction process to materialize. Tried to get it done using , org.eclipse.wst.internet.monitor.core.internal.provisional.Request object , but didn't really work out.
So I hope you guys could provide me with some insight on how to proceed ,how to resolve the issues and about providing necessary extension points for the given scenario. Really sorry if this mail has been too lengthy , jus wanted to make the idea clear.
Really appreciate your kind feedback regarding this. Thnx in advance.
