The Brazil Technology Architecture

The Brazil project is a web-based infrastructure that links people securely to information, computers and other devices leveraging existing standards and protocols. The Brazil architecture is described by four characteristics:

A rich toolkit of powerful, reusable parts
Large applications achieved by combining simple parts in consistent ways
Small applications are simple to build
There is no preconceived notion or rigid structure of file systems

These four components, and the interrelationships between them, define the Brazil architecture, prototyped in the Java programming language.

JavaTM technology-based objects represent two of the components, objects, called Server and Request. The third component, a Java technology interface-definition called a Handler, is the mechanism by which functionality is added into the Brazil architecture.

The final Brazil toolkit component is the data structure for managing the information flow between the other parts, It's called the Brazil technology properties, named after the Java technology class used in the prototype implementation. The properties are the name/value pairs that represent the current state of a URL request, along with methods for managing both the lexical and temporal scope of the data.

Brazil technology supports other Sun technologies, including JavaTM Messaging Service (JMS), JiniTM connection technology, and Java Reliable Multicast Service (JRMS).

The Toolkit can be downloaded from Brazil download page.

An interesting project here ...to be completed
