A framework for sharing data between network-connected applications and a
|
|
remote procedure call mechanism.
|
|
|
|
The normal configuration of the Presents system is client/server; generally
|
|
with many clients connecting to a single server though a system exists to
|
|
allow a network of peer servers to communicate with one another . All
|
|
information transfer takes place through the server using the distributed
|
|
object system documented below.
|
|
|
|
<p> For libraries that are build on the distributed object services as well
|
|
as most code in a system using the distributed object services, everything
|
|
you need are in these packages: </p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="annotation/package-summary.html">annotation</a> - annotations
|
|
used for dependency resolution, distributed object defintion and
|
|
documentation purposes.
|
|
<li><a href="dobj/package-summary.html">dobj</a> - the core of the
|
|
distributed object system.
|
|
<li><a href="tools/package-summary.html">tools</a> - ant tasks for
|
|
generating ditsributed object setter methods, invocation service and
|
|
invocation receiver marshallers.
|
|
<li><a href="util/package-summary.html">util</a> - various utilities that
|
|
simplify life for users of the distributed object services.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> Systems making use of the distributed object services will need to set
|
|
up a client and server. The following packages contain those services and
|
|
their implementation: </p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="client/package-summary.html">client</a> - the client side of
|
|
the distributed object client/server framework.
|
|
<li><a href="data/package-summary.html">data</a> - classes that are sent
|
|
over the network (and hence shared by the client and server); constant
|
|
definition interfaces.
|
|
<li><a href="net/package-summary.html">net</a> - classes used to define and
|
|
implement the Presents protocol.
|
|
<li><a href="server/package-summary.html">server</a> - the server side of
|
|
the distributed object client/server framework.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> Systems that need to scale beyond a single server will need to make use
|
|
of services in the peer package which provides a mechanism by which
|
|
multiple servers can operate in concert. </p>
