id=birds-view>Birds View</h3><p>A Strolch agent’s architecture can be seen as a simple three-tier architecture.
|
|
The presentation layer is mostly a web frontend, where the communication with
|
|
the agent is done via REST API calls.</p><p>The agent itself implements the business logic using Services, Commands,
|
|
Queries etc.</p><p>The agent can communicate with other 3rd systems using any API, where it is
|
|
preferred to use JSON over REST.</p><p>The agent can use a standard RDBMS as a storage system, where currently DAOs
|
|
have been implemented only for PostgreSQL. Should it be required, then any
|
|
JDBC cabable RDBMS can be used, as no PostgreSQL specific SQL commands are used.</p><p>The following diagram helps visualize this:</p><p><img src=/assets/images/Strolch-Bird-View.svg alt="Strolch Architecture Birds View"></p><h3 id=squirrel-view>Squirrel View</h3><p>The following diagram shows a more detailed view of the architecture of a
|
|
Strolch Agent:</p><p><img src=/assets/images/Strolch-Squirrel-View.svg alt="Strolch Architecture Squirrel View"></p><p>A Strolch agent consists of the following main parts:</p><ul><li>REST Endpoints → expose an API to access the Strolch agent outside of the
|
|
Java VM</li><li>Services and Commands → implements business logic</li><li>Searches → implements specific queries against the Strolch model</li><li>Components → Implements additional logic, which is best implement as a
|
|
component. E.g. active components which have threads, etc.</li><li>Realms → implements multi-tenant capabilities</li></ul><p>In addition to the main parts, Strolch contains inherit capabilities, which
|
|
gives Strolch unique features when compared to other Java Frameworks:</p><ul><li>Policies → Policies allow injecting different algorithms. All root elements
|
|
can store Policy definitions, so that a service can delegate to a Policy and
|
|
thus behave differently, depending on the element being accessed.</li><li>Transactions → Transactions handle locking/unlocking of objects, updating the
|
|
model and are the central API for the developer.</li><li>Privileges → Strolch is user agnostic and any action, i.e. Service, Query,
|
|
etc. is authorized against the authenticated user.</li><li>Observers → modifications to the model are propagated to listeners using the
|
|
observer pattern.</li><li>Audits → Every access (read, modify) of the model are audited</li><li>Versioning → modifications to objects are versioned and thus can be rolled
|
|
back at a later time.</li></ul><footer class=footline></footer></div></div><div id=navigation><a class="nav nav-prev" href=/documentation/ title=Documentation><i class="fa fa-chevron-left"></i></a><a class="nav nav-next" href=/documentation/model/ title=Model style=margin-right:0><i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i></a></div></section><div style=left:-1000px;overflow:scroll;position:absolute;top:-1000px;border:none;box-sizing:content-box;height:200px;margin:0;padding:0;width:200px><div style=border:none;box-sizing:content-box;height:200px;margin:0;padding:0;width:200px></div></div><script src=/js/clipboard.min.js?1678977091></script><script src=/js/perfect-scrollbar.min.js?1678977091></script><script src=/js/perfect-scrollbar.jquery.min.js?1678977091></script><script src=/js/jquery.sticky.js?1678977091></script><script src=/js/featherlight.min.js?1678977091></script><script src=/js/highlight.pack.js?1678977091></script><script>hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();</script><script src=/js/modernizr.custom-3.6.0.js?1678977091></script><script src=/js/learn.js?1678977091></script><script src=/js/hugo-learn.js?1678977091></script><script src=/mermaid/mermaid.js?1678977091></script><script>mermaid.initialize({startOnLoad:true});</script><script type=text/javascript>var _paq=window._paq=window._paq||[];_paq.push(["setDocumentTitle",document.domain+"/"+document.title]);_paq.push(["setCookieDomain","*.strolch.li"]);_paq.push(['trackPageView']);_paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);(function(){var u="https://piwik.eitchnet.ch/";_paq.push(['setTrackerUrl',u+'matomo.php']);_paq.push(['setSiteId','2']);var d=document,g=d.createElement('script'),s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];g.type='text/javascript';g.async=true;g.src=u+'matomo.js';s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);})();</script></body></html> |
