Chapter 5. The ESB Management Portal

We already discussed some of the features provided by the ESB Management Portal in Chapter 3, ESB Exception Handling, where we explored the exception handling features of the ESB Toolkit. Apart from those, the ESB portal provides some other main capabilities around publishing our services endpoints into UDDI, as well as configuring different parameters that drive the behavior of the portal.

Note

For those not familiar with UDDI, it is an abbreviation for Universal Description Discovery and Integration . More information can be found on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Description_Discovery_and_Integration.

In this chapter we will:

• Learn how to publish endpoints into UDDI from the ESB Management Portal

• Learn the ESB Portal Audit Log
