IRMIS3 Status Gabriele Carcassi 15 Oct 2010
IRMIS3 Status • This talk is about: • what is currently downloadable from the website • what is ready for production • what is actively supported
Project infrastructure Build and test serverAutomated tests SourceForge project (mailing list, bug tracking, wiki).Monthly release cycle. Production server at BNL since January 2009 IE or firefox on Windows/Linux/Mac supported “alpha” - AuthZ and AuthN only designed Likely implemented by the end of the year
IRMIS3 architecture Browser(Firefox, IE, …) Web server(Glassfish) Javaapplets IRMIS DB (MySQL) Data service AJAX components XML protocol • Data service enforces business rules • (clients can be dumb) Data service allows db schema orbusiness rule changes while in production Scripts and CLI(perl, Python, …) Data service provides a good abstractionlayer on which to integrate
Software stack 3rd party Java apps Jython scripts 3rd party Perl/Pyton scripts Integration with external tools (i.e. physcs) Few database utilities: backup, consistency check, etc… Web applications Client JavaScript bridge Applets and Widgets Java Client API XML protocol (REST style WS) Data Service layer Server Database layer

Writing data XML describing a transaction sent through a POST <transaction xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns='http://xml.bnl.gov/schema/irmis' xsi:schemaLocation='http://xml.bnl.gov/schema/irmis irmis.xsd'> <create> <manufacturer name="Acopian"/> </create> <update> <componentType id="2" name="Site" description="Overall facility.

Implementation Java SE 6 Java EE 5Glassfish 2.x/3.x Stream out XML as soon as possibleto reduce delay Servlet Read Business logic JPA SAX MySQL JAXB Write JAXB to convert transaction requestto Java objects JPA vs JDBC: simpler queries to maintain6% performance loss
Performance • Dell Precision M4300 laptop, Intel Core Duo T7500, 2.20 GHz - APS dataset • Entire component data set streamed in about 5 seconds (31338 components, 63911 relationships) • Most other queries under 100 ms (manufacturers 88ms, interfaces 95ms) • Roughly half of the time is spent in DB access and half in XML generation • Streaming starts right after DB access • Only tuning done is on the database query (was “good enough”) • Other areas: hardware/os tuning, xml generation improvements, profiling, caching, …
Client API • To access the service, XML and HTTP is all you need • Available in all languages • Two libraries provided that allow to work with objects • PHP API from MSU • Java API from BNL • Only going to talk about the Java API
Java API: design principles • The Java API implement the XML protocol and provides objects that represent the data • All reads are cached: no need to keep caches in your code. • All reads are synchronized • you can have reads on multiple threads on the same data and will not trigger multiple reads on the server (extremely useful for GUIs)
Java API design principles • The read access is object oriented • Data is exposed through interfaces • Component, ComponentType, Manufacturer • Some classes function as “finders” for the classes containing the data • Components.getById(123), FormFactors.getByName(“Rack”) • You can follow references from one object to the other • component.getComponentType().getManufacturer()
Java API design principles • The write access is protocol oriented • You create a transaction • You call methods to add elements in the transaction • Manufacturers.createManufacturer(transaction, “ACME”) • You save the transaction, which may fail • The read access is refreshed only after the data is saved

Fluent API • Navigating through hierarchies can be tedious • On top of the “beans” API there is a fluent API (internal domain specific language) Search API Builders Change Set API
UI design • Web interface: uses applets and Web Start (both greatly improved with Java 6u10) • Uses Swing standard components plus open source (SwingX, Flamingo, JIDE, …) • UI elements can optionally be used in custom pages and integrated with javascript • UI available only for Components and Cabling
UI elements Component hierarchy tree widget (filtering, sorting, search, …) Component pathwidget
Components • Support for component and component types is production level • Data model has been tested extensively through previous use at other sites • Performance tests were done using APS datasets • Most of the work now is in UI development • Most applications at their 3rd iteration
Cabling • Support for cabling is still beta • No considerable amount of data has been put into it • No performance tests done (see lack of data) • UI at their second iteration • Need users!
Lattice • There is preliminary support for lattice • Only through the API, no UI • A separate tree structure of “elements”, each of an “element type”. Each relationship has alignment information. • Lattice cannot be modifiedin place: copy on write createsa new version • Right now, provided as-is 2 1 2 1 1 1 1
PV • PV service and API is considered alpha. No UI yet. No crawler scripts provided yet.
