Can anyone suggest which monitoring tool is the best for monitoring JBOSS, in particular ESB queue depth etc?
I currently use Hyperic with a custom plugin, does anything support JBOSS ESB out of the box?
JBoss Operations Network is your best bet if you want an out-of-the-box working project.

I know that Apache Camel is java open source framework and Jboss Fuse is ESB which act like container to bind camel into its container . However i need to know its differences in some more depth .
Any help will be appreciated .
In simplified terms, camel framework is the set of api's (java code) which are used in system integration projects whereas fuse is the server like tomcat where code is deployed.
"JBoss Fuse combines several technologies like core Enterprise Service Bus capabilities (based on Apache Camel, Apache CXF, Apache ActiveMQ), Apache Karaf and Fabric8 in a single integrated distribution."
Deploy applications utilizing some different configurations and technologies is one of many qualities in Jboss Fuse.
"Camel" as being a rule based routing & mediation engine which can be used inside a full blown ESB, a message broker or a web services smart client. Though if you want to, you could consider that Camel is a small, lightweight embeddable ESB since it can provide many of the common ESB services like smart routing, transformation, mediation, monitoring, orchestration etc.
We should also mention what Camel isn’t. Camel isn’t an enterprise service bus complete(ESB ), although some call Camel a lightweight ESB because of its support for routing, transformation, monitoring, orchestration, and so forth. Camel doesn’t have a container or a reliable message bus, but it can be deployed in one, such as Open-ESB or ServiceMix. For that reason, we prefer to call
Camel an integration framework rather than an ESB.
I want to ask about JBoss Middleware for ISO8583.
So, I kinda new on ISO8583, from what I know is we could use JPOS framework for this one. Then my supervisor ask me to research about JBoss Middleware that could be used to develop middleware application for send, receive, and parse ISO8583 message.
I have read on JBoss Middleware website, unfortunately I'm still not sure which JBoss technology should I use to develop such application.
Here is my questions:
1. In order develop enterprise application that capable to send, receive, and parse ISO8583, should I combine JPOS with JBoss Middleware? or JBoss Middleware has a complete capability to handle it?
2. Does anyone has/know good material/tutorial for me to learn about building ISO8583 middleware with JBoss technology?
Thank you.
JBoss Middleware is a family of products and its components alone do not provide ISO8583 capabilities out of the box.
jPOS is one of the most popular Java frameworks that provide complete capabilities to handle sending and receiving ISO8583 messages. There are other alternatives such as j8583 and IsoTypes.
You can combine any of these ISO8583 libraries together with JBoss Fuse (part of the JBoss Middleware family) to build a solution capable of sending, receiving and parsing ISO8583 messages.
I'm not aware of a definitive guide about building such solutions. If you need to use JBoss Middleware, you can follow this route:
Look into IsoTypes, which provides an ISO8583 marshalling library for Apache Camel (used by JBoss Fuse).
Start by building a Camel route that implements the IsoType library functions. Look into this sample project.
Please, be aware that building a production ready ISO8583 server and/or client from open source solutions require significant work in terms of scalability, information security and compatibility with multiple financial hosts and switches.
My answer only refers to the first basic steps to understand your problem/solution fit a bit better.
As a side note, you may be interested in looking at jreactive-8583, an ISO8583 connector that handles message parsing and the network layer out of the box. You may build your application using this and deploy it into JBoss Application Server (part of the JBoss Middleware family too). I use it in production.
You can take advantage of JPos Q2 and create a servlet deployable to JBoss container.
In the service init method you can do this:
Q2 q2 = new Q2();
q2.start();
Has anyone had any experience integrating JBoss Drools with Mule ESB?
While Apache ServiceMix appears to have good Drools support (http://servicemix.apache.org/servicemix-drools.html), the web based monitoring and tooling in Mule make it particularly useful for us as we often have non-technical service workers needing access to information around messaging.
One of the Mule committers has recently been working to update the Drools support in Mule. You can ask this question on the Mule user mailing list and probably get an up to date answer and a pointer to the work in progress code.
I am on a development team that is using JBoss EAP 4.3.0.GA_CP06. I need to be able to monitor JBoss using SNMPv3.
I understand I am able to use SNMP to monitor, but is it possible to monitor using v3 out-of-the box? If it is possible, what configurations need to be made to do this? If it is not possible, what external/other options are there for monitoring JBoss with SNMPv3?
Thanks.
Assuming the snmp-agent.sar is in your deploy directory (which depends on which config you picked), then JBoss will be exposing SNMP information on port 1161 (see inside the .sar for additional configuration).
I don't recall if this is SNMPv3, though, or v2.
This is not possible "out-of-the-box". An external SNMP adapter is required (e.g. WebNMS, iReasoning).
We are planning to migrate to a new WebServer (bye bye Websphere), the main considerations are
transaction management
persistence
message/event handling
maintainability
distributed architecture
MBD/EJB support
We are very happy with TC Server but the only problem is that it does not support EJB's and MDB's and we use them pretty heavily here, I head that you can use TC Server and JBoss together, did anybody try using it that way or is there other way that we can use EJB's and MDB's with TC Server ?
Any help appreciated
/srm
If by TC you mean Apache's Tomcat, then yes: JBoss AS is bundled with an embedded Tomcat Servlet/JSP container. So, if you are happy with Tomcat, then JBoss might be a good option for you. And it supports all things you've mentioned.
JTA
JPA/Hibernate
JMS and MDB
Yes, you can have JBoss AS in cluster provided your application supports it
Of course. JavaEE containers must support MDB and EJB.
