The present invention relates to the field of systems management on IT-resources using web services. An improved method proposes a single web service implementation which dynamically and automatically generates multiple WSDLs for respective multiple resource type classes. This implementation is model-agnostic, as it doesn't require any knowledge about the underlying model, be that a resource model, or any other model in question, and uses introspection of the applied model at the time of invocation for the dynamic WSDL generation. The state of the resource is maintained within the instrumentation of the resource. No additional persistence on top needs to be implemented. A single implementation of a low number of generic web services, basically only two, reduces implementation and maintenance efforts significantly.
A method for performing systems management on IT-resources using web services, wherein said resources are managed in a computational network within a plurality of runtime environments having different respective instrumentations, wherein a resource configuration database is provided for storing a collection of resource-specific data on said IT-resources, comprising by the steps of:
A data processing system usable for performing systems management on IT-resources using web services, wherein said resources are managed in a computational network within a plurality of runtime environments having different respective instrumentations, wherein a resource configuration database is provided for storing a collection of resource-specific data on said IT-resources, having means for performing a method comprising the steps of:
A computer program product usable for performing systems management on IT-resources using web services, wherein said resources are managed in a computational network within a plurality of runtime environments having different respective instrumentations, wherein a resource configuration database is provided for storing a collection of resource-specific data on said IT-resources, comprising a computer useable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program includes a functional component that when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
