Hi,

today I've introduced new types of messages to ping pS services. Their 
names are: EchoRequest and EchoResponse. They should be used to monitor 
pS services. Now the response is very simple message but in the future 
it may contain the information like: institution name, contact person, etc.



Request:


<nmwg:message type="EchoRequest"
             id="id1"
             xmlns:nmwg="http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/base/2.0/";>


   <nmwg:metadata id="meta">
       <nmwg:eventType>echo</nmwg:eventType>
   </nmwg:metadata>

   <nmwg:data id="data" metadataIdRef="meta"/>


</nmwg:message>




Response:


<nmwg:message type="EchoResponse"
             id="id1"
             xmlns:nmwg="http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/base/2.0/";
             xmlns:nmwgr="http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/result/2.0/datum/";>


   <nmwg:metadata id="meta">
       <nmwg:eventType>success.echo</nmwg:eventType>
   </nmwg:metadata>

   <nmwg:data id="data" metadataIdRef="meta">
       <nmwgr:datum>
           This is the echo response from the service.
       </nmwgr:datum>
   </nmwg:data>

</nmwg:message>




The echo functionality is added to the SQL and RRD MA. New snapshots 
(20060905) are available on the wiki.
To send echo request the following command can be used:

for RRD MA:

 ant -f build-rrdma.xml run-echo


for SQL MA

 ant -f build-sqlma.xml run-echo
