Concatenating XML objects in Mediator's transformation
Using Mediator for process discoverability
That's it! We're almost done here. One more very convenient thing related to Mediator
should be mentioned. Although it's not directly related to any SOA message mediation
patterns, this feature directly supports Runtime Discoverability, and by enforcing this
SOA principle, we can greatly improve the lives of our operational personnel. We all
know (as diligent architects who support and control the health of deployed applications)
that with a considerable number of business processes, tracing them in the SOA EM dash-
board could be hard. The native SCA ConversationID could be ugly, and leaving the In-
stance name empty is not a decent courtesy towards those who will deal with our
products. Regretfully, our dynamic approach, as you already guessed, does not improve
the situation much; quite contrary to this, it will complicate it. We do not have the actual
business process name until we call the EP lookup process. We should assign the instance
title somehow in the request or preferably in the response to make it more searchable and
traceable.
