An Adaptive Communication Mechanism for Heterogeneous Distributed Environments Using XML and Servlets Presenter: Vincent Cheung Supervisors: Prof. M R Lyu Prof. K W Ng 19 June 2001 Motivation Integration of distributed systems to serve the increasingly demanding users. Many obstacles hinder the expansion of distributed systems. Firstly, firewalls block many communication protocols. Secondly, objects in heterogeneous distributed environments cannot communicate. The existing solutions for these two problems have deficiencies. Our objective is to develop a simple and generic method to tackle these two problems but get rid of those deficiencies in existing solutions. Presentation Outline Overview of XML and Servlets Firewall issue in distributed systems Causes of the problem and existing solutions Our mechanism using XML and Servlets How our mechanism supports callbacks Our XML schema for communications Communication in heterogeneous environments Causes of the problem and existing solutions Our mechanism using XML and Servlets A query system using our mechanism Evaluation of our mechanism Conclusion Overview of Related Technologies Overview of XML XML - eXtensible Markup Language. Proposed by WWW Consortium, in 1998. To define a complete, platform-independent and system-independent environment for the authoring and delivery of information resources across the web. Element is the basic component, i.e., a piece of text bounded by matching tags. Attributes are something associated with elements. XML Example use elements attributes to describe information XML – Flexible Structures XML is semistructure, which provide great flexibility to represent complex structures. Good tool to represent complicated data structures. For example, a nested tree to arbitrary depth node node node 1 /node node 2 /node node node 3 /node /node Overview on Java Servlets Servlets are the bodies of code that run inside request/response-oriented servers, and extend t
