Web services Connection pools management

Presentation

The console is used to configure the groups of Web-service connections for the Safe X3 Web Server. An additional tab is available within the Safe X3 Web Server configuration panel. To access the configuration of the group of connections, the Safe X3 Web Server must be configured and the services must be launched. If it is not the case, the tab is not activated.

It is mandatory to publish solutions to configure groups of Web-service connections; these groups are configured to set up a physical connection to the folder of a solution, via a configured processing server of the solution.

Description of the tab

The configuration screen of a group of Web-service connections is mainly built with three components

The tool bar

The tool bar contains the following elements:

•  : these buttons are used to add or delete a group of Web-service connections to the tree structure.
•  : these actions are available in a group of connections depending on its status (launch, stop, re-launch, suspend).
•  : this button is used to reread the configuration from the Safe X3 Web Server.

The visualization tree structure of the configuration

This tree structure represents the Safe X3 Web Server configuration and the configuration of the group of Web service connections.

The following elements are found, in the following order:

• The X3World node, that is the central point of the Safe X3 Web Server configuration
• The solutions published on this Safe X3 Web Server
• The folders published on this Safe X3 Web Server for the selected solution
• The process servers configured for the solution
• The groups of web-service connections connected to the process server for the solution
• The physical connections to the selected groups of connections

The status of the component of the group of Web-service connections is represented by its icon:

•  The component is in addition mode
•  The component is in deletion mode
•  The component is configured, launched and in service
•  The component is configured but not activated
•  The component is configured, launched but not in service
•  The component is being updated, following a parameter change
