Design issues

[bethana kumar]

Hi

    I need ur valuable suggestions for my below requirement.

 

 

I have to Design a server(the server is not intelligent enough, which will receive request from their clients,It should identify the client request and finally connect to the appropriate server for its response and send the response back to client ..in raw or xml or binary or image format) which is going to Interact with multiple Servers depending on type of request.Each server is providing different functionalities and also each own has its own API for communicating with server.

 

Now i would like to design such a system that will do all the things which described above
and also design should be flexible enough to support new server on demand(i.e when we need diffent functionality). I would like to use  servlets,xml technologies,want to use tomcat as a webserver.The server should handle Asynchronous communication.

 

The architecture looks like below ....where C1,C2,C3 are clients, Server is one i have to develop and finally Server1,Server2,Server3 are external servers.

 

                     C1                                    Server1
                     C2             Server                 Server2
                     C3                                    Server3

Tell me your valuble suggestions.How should i proceed

Thanks & Regards
