Hi Andy, This is an interesting technology sample that demonstrates various capabilities that Tuscany offers.
It would be good to get user feedback on this as well. Haleh On 1/19/07, Andrew Borley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all, One of the things we thought would be good to include in the next release of Tuscany C++ was "some kind of Web 2.0 sample" that would show the various functionality of Tuscany C++ (and perhaps Tuscany Java and SCA/SDO for PHP too) all working together in one app. I've had a think around this and come up with the following idea that I'm throwing open for abuse/ideas/development/etc! Global Alerter A feed-reader style webapp that aggregates various sources of changing data into a series of "alerts" that are displayed in, and automatically updated via AJAX calls from, a web page. Alert sources include RSS/Atom news feeds, POP3/IMAP email, NNTP newsgroups, SOAP services (such as stockquotes). See the attached png for the initial SCA diagram (I've also put it up at [1] if the mail-list doesn't let png's through) for a bit more detail. This shows some of the power that SCA and Tuscany provides: - the 2 composites could run in separate containers or even different SCA runtimes (say HTTPD/PHP with SCA_SDO for the Display Composite and HTTPD/Tuscany C++ for the Alerter Composite) - we could show extensibility by adding extra Checker components for other data sources (such as a component that checks for changes in a specific web page) - we could show re-use of components by using the Web Service Checker to call a stockquote service and a weather forecast service. - we can use different languages to implement the components It would be nice if the web front end could also show what is happening under the covers - perhaps by displaying the SCA diagram and highlighting which pieces are being called when the user chooses to update the alerts from a particular data source. So, any ideas/thoughts? Thanks!
