Title
Loosely Connected RPC: An Approach for Extendable Interface of Web Services
Abstract
To make distributed software systems evolve easily, it is desirable to make connections between services and clients loose. The recent success of Web based technologies may be attributed to the core characteristic, i.e. being more loosely connected than the traditional RPC technologies such as CORBA, DCOM and Java RMI. Web services are distributed systems built on the Web based technologies; however, in many cases the programming model used in Web services is similar with the traditional RPC that leads to tight connections between services and clients. For example, in many cases the return value must have the exact type that the client expects. To tackle this problem, we propose an approach for extendable interface of remote objects. For this purpose, we apply XML pattern matching to a SOAP message to extract data it conveys. Because XML pattern matching is applied only to a fragment of information provided by a SOAP message and does not require the whole information of objects it conveys, the client programs equipped with XML pattern matching still work correctly even when the service evolves.
