Managed Methods has added runtime exception management in the latest release of JaxView, their product for managing and monitoring Web service operations and SOA environments.
Architects, developers and IT operations managers working with Web services in production need visibility into the operation XML-based services. This includes visibility into faults and exceptions that may occur. Providing thorough exception management at design time is critical for building robust applications. This applies even more so to Web services and SOA, where loose coupling presents challenges for event management. How exceptions are communicated and handled in SOA environments will impact reliability and manageability. Systems may be designed to enable recovery from some types of exceptions. Other exception types may require mediation and manual intervention. JaxView from Managed Methods can act as an intermediary to reduce the impact of exceptions on service quality.
