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

  1. Address design limitations
  2. Change from servlet communication to using Osee Messaging Service (Gateway)
  3. Easily migrate skynet core functionality to the server

New Service Structure

  1. Need a controller to dispatch all operations - sends
