Funny timeout

Something happen at the office some days ago:

phone ringing

me: “Hello”
other: “Hi, I’m ***, I’m testing your webservices to implement X function of your B2B process”
me: “Ok, and…?”
other: “I’m getting timeout immediately”
me: “well timeout and immediately, seems two words in little contrast…” (some ritual questions about framework used, setting and so on) and finnally
me: “did you force a timeout client side?”
other: “Yes I set it at 300…but I get immediatly timeout”
me: “Immediately….. like 1/3 of second?”
other: “I don’t know…but I set it at 300 seconds, I’m not a newbie”
me: “No for sure, but may I ask if you sure they are seconds…..?”

ROTFL, sure he isn’t a newbie just a ……(put here what you want)……

Well, needless to say the answer about which framework he is using have been “.NET of course”. Yep of course :)

wise-core in jbossesb first implementation

As said in this post one of possible use of wise-core (the new core we get independent from Wise) is to integrate it in JBossESB to make a generic soap client invoking web service using Smooks transformation to hide final user the gap between their own object models and one generated by JAX-WS tools dynamically.

Well I contribute with some code to JBossESB providing an action which does what I described in a nutshell here. My efforts and possible improvements are described in this post on ESB developer forum.

Give your feed back there.

BTW I’m developing a real world application based on ESB and this wise-action: it takes some date from a db, enrich the message calling a set of webservices using wise, conditioning these calls with a content based routing approach, and then write the databack into db. I’m planning a post about this application as soon as me and my team will finish it….stay tuned!
