MOSP與Web Service間互通性實作：MOSP呼叫Web Service

Abstract

Nowadays, companies are moving their main operations to web for better automation, efficient business processes and global visibility. We need an integrated, robust solution for leveraging the existing applications, rapidly adapt to the unique needs and continually evolve as requirements change over time. Web Service, with loosely coupled and dynamically bound components, is the present evolution of this new category of services. Although Web Service is very popular and in general use, which solves many problems, there are still some insufficiency. For example, it is a stateless service system, which does not record the state of each client using it and can only provide services with simpler interaction. A brand-new solution, MeshObject Service Protocol (MOSP) provides another choice now. MOSP uses the concept of object-oriented, which enables users to obtain an object instance of the service provided by a peer by binding to its MOSP URL. MOSP can provide stateful services with such way. Besides, MOSP contains the concept of inheritance as well, which enables MOSP services to be reused more freely and easily, and therefore reduces the cost and time to develop applications. In this thesis, we proposed a gateway system which enables MOSP clients to call Web Service in order to promote MOSP and to make Web Service still available in MOSP environment.
