SOA-based Enterprise Configuration Management

Large Service-Oriented-Architecture (SOA) based enterprise applications are generally dynamic, complex, multi-tiered, distributed across multiple machines (e.g. a data center). Management of such applications is a challenge and XML-based configuration files are widely used in the management of such applications.

Goal of this project includes specific management tasks like deployment of applications, selective restart of applications after a reboot and capacity planning.

Such tasks require efficient querying, transformation and persistence of configuration data which is the main goal of any enterprise management tool.

Objective

1. Get experience with tree data structures (implemented as XML documents) and (in-memory) searching algorithms.
2. In First deliverable, parse a huge XML configuration file in memory and execute commands (in-memory).
3. In Second deliverable, use the parsed XML to store everything in a relational database (Oracle) and execute different commands on database.
4. Analyse the efficiency of both approaches.

Technologies used:

1. Mainly project is developed using Java.
2. For XML parsing, we are using SAX Parser.

How to use:

Deliverable 1:

1. Open cmd.
2. Copy ADS.jar to present working directory.
3. Copy the file containing commands to be run ( say test.txt ) to the present working directory.
4. Copy the xml file (say edgeconfig2_sample.xml) to the present working directory.
5. Run the following command: java -Xmx2048m -jar ADS.jar < test.txt

Xmx2048 added to support multiple configuration file parsing
Memory leaks are handled

Deliverable 2:

1. Run using - java -Xmx2048m -jar 001U_del2proj2.jar
