REST Document-Centric Persistence HTTP Push Expression Subscriptions
CBMS is designed as a set of RESTful
web services, treating C-BML documents transmitted over the wire as addressable resources.
With a REST-based web service,
provided by the protocol, in this case HTTP, which offers GET, PUT, POST, DELETE operations.
This is in contrast to a traditional SOAP-
based web service where if systems are to communicate via the service, they must adhere to an arbitrary interface that
business meaning (e.g. “calculate X”, “process Y” - forcing tougher adaptation - fitting a square peg to a round hole).
Using RESTful services eases and
encourages adoption by disparate C2 and Simulation systems.
CBMS does not use a
Instead, C-BML documents
HTTP operates on a request/
response cycle paradigm: A resource is requested by a user agent, then a response is provided by a server.
CBMS also provides a
subscription service where a client can send a subscription request to the service.
The service then tells the client to
keep its connection open, in order to listen/wait for any applicable published events.
If an event matches the
subscription, an appropriate response is transmitted to the receiving client.
CBMS's subscription service is designed to operate on expressions as opposed to resources.
