CMS Luigi Zangrando, Cern, 05/03/ Tools: XML Database XML databases represent a new technology that surpass the traditional data storage mechanism in convenience, ease of development. The benefit of a XML DB solution is that: 1. 1.we don't have to worry about mapping our XML to some other data structure. We just insert the data as XML and retrieve it as XML we gain a lot of flexibility through the semi-structured nature of XML. This is especially valuable when we have very complex XML structures that would be difficult or impossible to map to a more structured database. Disadvantage: the performances are not good Characteristics: – –XML data is either stored in the internal native XML-DB or an external RDBMS – –The server is accessible through easy to use HTTP and XML-RPC interfaces and supports the XML:DB API for Java programming. – –the search engine supports XPath queries.

CMS Luigi Zangrando, Cern, 05/03/ Next Step: web services We want to increase the system’s scalability using multiple containers (e.g. one container per service) allocated in different server machines. We need a service locator (network DNS), as the services will be dislocate over the network. Web Service tecnology can be used for that. Service 1 Service n UDDI WSDL The single servlet container describes the services they offer by means of the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) and then publish it to the Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registries client Service 1 Clients looking for services, query first the UDDI server to discover the location of the service and then access to it Tomcat 1 Tomcat 2
