As the world is building "the Internet of things", the successful deployment of instant information retrievals Web servers will be essential for enterprises to provide satisfactions for customers. For instance, the precise and pertinent information of a product should be delivered promptly and securely. By taking advantage of radio frequency identification technology, information retrievals for a product labeled with a smart tag can be performed much more efficiently than ever before. This article presents a Web server design scheme to facilitate the information retrieving in a future product identification and tracking system, aiming at meeting the following competitive requirements: responsive, evolution-prone, and locally contextual.
