Design Overview

The Profile Server system is implemented as a set of Java Servlets, with a variety of language-specific interfaces to provide access to web application.

Major components and sub components of the system include:

  • Profile Server The main server product
    • Datamodel The structure for holding data, organized according to function. This structure is also the organization of the web-services API.
    • Publisher Controller for publishing information in a variety of formats, like XML, FOAF, vCard, and others.
    • OpenID producer and consumer.
  • Profile Editor Web Application

The major libraries that are used include:

  • [Juniper] A web front-controller, like Ruby on Rails or Struts
  • NOS-RMI A very adaptable Remote Method Invocation system
  • ZeroSchema A database manager that makes it easy to store objects in a database without having to alter the database schema.

Servlet applications that provide support to the Profile Server and Profile Editor:

  • [Taskmaster Servlet] Runs the Quartz scheduler to perform tasks
  • [Email Servlet] A Set of servlets that send, receive and track email.
  • [JMSGateway Servlet] Allows [Juniper] targets to be invoked from JMS messages.
