[DUG] Stateful Web Service

[Stacey Verner]

Title: Message

I have developed a lightweight Stateless Web Service which will connect to a Stateful server which manages database connections.

I would like some ideas on how to build the Stateful server.

 

A typical session would go something like this (from the clients point of view):

• session_id = ConnecToDB(mydb)
• DoStuff(session_id)
• DoMoreStuff(session_id)
• ...
• ...
• Disconnect(session_id)

Each request wll create an instance of the lightweight Web Service and do the following: 

• This will then connect to the stateful server.
• Do its stuff.
• Disconnect from the stateful server.
• Send its response.
• Dissappear.

In the meantime the Stateful server needs to:

• Recieve the connect request from the web service.
• Create a new thread/process to handle the session.
• Connect to the database.
• Return the session id.
• Recieve other requests for that session id and direct them to the appropriate thread/process.
• Recieve the diconnect request.
• Disconnect from the database.
• Destroy the thread / instance.

What I want is some info on how the lightweight Web Service should talk to the Statefil server.

 

Thanks
