Patent attributes
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for providing interoperable management of application servers. These mechanisms and methods can enable a software developer to create client applications using one or more programming systems, i.e., .NET, C++, VISUAL C++, etc. that can discover and interact with management resources, such as objects, functions and so forth, deployed on an application server, such as an application server implemented using a disparate programming system, i.e., a J2EE Application server, for example. Embodiments employing interfaces that conform to an implemented standard, i.e., Web Service Description Language (WSDL), for example and conform to an implemented protocol, such as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for example, can enable third parties, for example, to create software to monitor managed applications and/or servers.
