The JBoss AS Admin Console has a “configuration” tab for ESBs deployed on the server.
http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/6/Admin_Console_Guide/en-US/html/Administration_Console_User_Guide-Updating_Resource_Configurations.html
It says that this is available for “resources that support configuration”, but it is greyed out for an ESB service that I have written.
How can I make my service support configuration?
Without code changes to the ESB RHQ plugin, that’s not really possible. The jbossesb RHQ plugin controls what’s displayed there and there’s nothing in your service configuration to allow run-time configuration through the admin-console.
If you’re interested in changing that, you’d have to change the following files :
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossesb/trunk/product/tools/jonplugin/src/main/java/org/jbosson/plugins/jbossesb/ServiceComponent.java
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossesb/trunk/product/tools/jonplugin/as5/src/main/resources/META-INF/rhq-plugin.xml
Or submit a JIRA with a request of what service properties that you’d like to see configurable at runtime under JBoss ESB in the JBoss JIRA issue tracker :
