OSEE Application Server Architecture
Currently, the OSEE application server is divided into the following services:
- Branch Management
- Authentication
- Session Management
- Resource Management
- Searching/Tagging Engine
- Server Lookup / Arbitration
- Task Service
- Admin Operations
Communication between Client/Server is handled via servlets:
- Session Management Servlet - interats with session manager and authentication
- Resource Management Servlet - interacts with resource management service to store, acquire, and delete resource data
- Branch Management Servlet - interacts with the Branch Management Service
- Search Engine Servlet - interacts with search and tagging services
- Server Lookup Servlet - performs server lookup / arbitration
- Add ons (These are servlets that provide none-core functionality) :
- Artifact Servlet - serves artifact's binary data (only supports whole word document artifact types)
- Client Info Servlet - provides application server installation locations through a web pagee
Design Limitations
- Progress Information is not sent to clients
- Unable to easily cancel operations once they are in progress
- Unable to determine what is running on the server (communication between service)
- Code duplication between admin ops and client requested ops
- Database code is spread out among services
Reasons For refactor
- Address design limitations
- Change from servlet communication to using Osee Messaging Service (Gateway)
- Easily migrate skynet core functionality to the server
- Be able to synchronize operations for data integrity
- Multiple application servers - distributed

New Service Structure
- Need a controller to dispatch all operations - sends
