To provide, through a standard web-service interface, a tuple-space-like capability which can be used by other services and by applications running in the ELF container.
We have chosen to implement this service instead of using JavaSpaces, the tuple-space which has long been part of the Jini Technology package (see http://java.sun.com/developer/products/jini and also http://javaspaces.org), for the following reasons:
ncsa.tools.common.types.Configuration
object.package ncsa.services.vizier.tspace; public interface IConfigurationSpace { void write( String entryXML ) throws Throwable; String[] read( String matchXML, int max ) throws Throwable; String[] take( String matchXML, int max, long timeout ) throws Throwable; String[] takeNB( String matchXML, int max ) throws Throwable; } |
