Each service provider implemented is able to log MONIT traces:

• on service provider invocation, when receiving an incoming request, with following attributes:
  • traceCode set to provideFlowStepBegin,
  • flowInstanceId set to the flow instance identifier retrieved from the incoming request,
  • flowStepId set to an UUID value,
  • flowStepInterfaceName set to the service provider interface name,
  • flowStepServiceName set to the service provider service name,
  • flowStepOperationName set to the operation of the invoked service provider,
  • flowStepEndpointName set to the service provider endpoint name,
  • flowPreviousStepId set to the step identifier of the previous step, retrieved from the incoming request.
• on service provider termination, when returning the outgoing response, with following attributes:
  • traceCode set to provideFlowStepEnd or provideFlowStepFailure,
  • flowInstanceId set to the flow instance identifier retrieved from the incoming request,
  • flowStepId set to the flow step identifier defined on incoming request receipt.

The flow tracing (ie. MONIT traces generation) is defined according to the property 'org.ow2.petals.monitoring.business.activate-flow-tracing' of the incoming request. If the property does not exist, the parameter activate-flow-tracing of the service provider definition will be inspected. If no parameter is defined at service provider level, the component configuration parameter 'activate-flow-tracing' is used. Finally, by default, the flow tracing is enabled.

The flow tracing propagation from a service provider implemented with this component to another service provider is driven by the parameter propagate-flow-tracing-activation of the service consumer definition. If no parameter is defined at service consumer level, the component configuration parameter 'propagate-flow-tracing-activation' is used. Finally, by default, the flow tracing propagation is enabled.
