STORED PROCEDURE LANGUAGE EXTENSIONS FORCOUPLING WEB SERVICES MANAGERS AND DBMS
Michael Goul, Tim Chenoweth, Andy Philippakis · 2002
With the promises of a web services evolution implying dramatic changes in enterprise deployment and management of applications, strategies for coupling web services managers with database management systems will likely abound in the near future. The tracking and reporting of externally acquired web services utilization performance data, status monitoring data, bandwidth utilization data and memory utilization data are similar to traditional database monitoring and management approaches. This similarity suggests potential advantages to the tight coupling of web service managers with database management systems. However, several new extensions to a database management systems stored procedure language features are necessary. These extensions are necessary due to the dynamic nature of web services utilization over the Internet, the nature of web service invocation as a long-lived transaction, the need for an inclusion of new mechanisms to recover from web service failure, and other idiosyncrasies associated with NetCentric computing.
