An Execution and Transaction Model for Active, Rule-Based Component Integration Middleware
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Integration Rules (IRules) project is investigating the use of active rules for supporting event-driven activity in applications involving distributed component integration. Integration rules respond to events that are raised during the execution of distributed transactions to evaluate conditions and trigger actions over distributed components that are implemented using the Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) component model. This paper presents the distributed architecture for the IRules environment and defines the execution and transaction model for the use of integration rules. The execution model includes traditional active rule coupling modes for immediate, deferred, and decoupled rule execution and also defines an asynchronous mode for concurrent rule and transaction execution. The flexible transaction model is used to allow integration rules, application transactions, and methods on EJB components to be executed as subtransactions within global distributed transactions. An execution scenario for the integration of EJB components is presented to illustrate the nested execution of rules and transactions for distributed component integration.

متن کاملA Graph-based Transaction Model for Active Databases and its Parallel Implementation
Databases coupled with active rules, which are known as active databases are becoming increasingly popular because of their added features that for supporting a wide spectrum of applications. The need for user-deened control over the rule execution order, particularly in parallel rule execution models, is well recognized in both AI and DB rule systems. In database rule systems, ideally, the rul...
متن کاملConcurrent Rule Execution in Active Databases
An active DBMS is expected to support concurrent as well as sequential rule execution in an efficient manner. Nested transaction model is a suitable tool to implement rule execution as it can handle nested rule firing and concurrent rule execution well. In this paper, we describe a concurrent rule execution model based on parallel nested transactions. We discuss implementation details of how th...
