Abstract

An application server represents a framework for server applications, which are programs that provide an API rather than a GUI and allow remote access to their functionality. The architecture of the Java-based application server KITE results from a generalization of the single-user desktop operating environment Oberon essentially by turning the global module list into a data structure associated with a particular client. We therefore introduce the notion of a Service as a named set of functions with state, the notion of a ServiceContext as an extensible set of service instances, the notion of a ContextFactory as the foundation for servers and clusters and the notion of an Application as a set of available services. We describe how these concepts are mapped onto the programming language Java and we discuss the fundamental implementation techniques being used. Finally we compare our approach with Enterprise Java Beans.
