BPEL in Cluster: In which node my process is working
I was helping a customer with his BPEL in cluster and we needed to follow the flow and on which machine the instance was running.
I simply use a bpel:exec activity with the following code:
java.net.InetAddress addr = null;
try {
addr = java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost();
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("EXCEPTION :"+ e);
}
setVariableData("HostNameVariable", addr.getCanonicalHostName());
This code is just an example of what could be done. Here I am using java.net code API and put the result in a BPEL global variable using the setVariableData() method. Obviously you will use appropriate code to differenciate the different nodes for example the name of the OC4J instance, hostname, … or any interesting value.
