On Modeling and Developing Self-Healing Web Services Using Aspects
Ghita Kouadri Mostéfaoui, Nanjangud C. Narendra, Zakaria Maamar, Philippe Thiran · 2007
Like any computing application, Web services are subject to failure and unavailability due to multiple reasons like Web service faulty-code and unreliable communication-infrastructure. A manual correction of Web services failure is error-prone and time-consuming. An effective Web services environment should be able to monitor its state, diagnosis faults, and automatically recover from failures. This process is known as self-healing. In this paper, we address self-healing issues of Web services using Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP). AOP supports separation of self-healing concerns from Web services code and promotes maintenance and reusability.
