The Design And Implementation Of WebDAV Service In XML Database

During the history of database, a lot of revolutions have been taking place. At the beginning, databases were lists and tables that stored certain data, then database nowadays have the ability of storing and processing massive amount of data, database has been widely used in many fields. However, with the rapid development of database, the experience of customers has become more and more crucial, because the more complex the database is, the poorer experience is for the customers. In order to improve this situation, many database manufactories have put much effort into making better database client, which have indeed make things easier but there still remains a lot to improve.The main subject is the interaction when using database and implementation a WebDAV service within Founder-ChengYunZhiRui xml database. Using this WebDAV service xml database can offer a full interface to the other computers connected on the net. As WebDAV is an extension of HTTP protocol, many operation systems is able to provide native support. That is the reason why we can project the structure of xml database to the file system liked WebDAV client. Operating database is like operating a file system plus the ability of distributed authoring and versioning control. These characteristics greatly reduce the complexity of database but strongly improve the experience of it.Then the Founder-ChengYunZhiRui xml database can be split into two parts under the considerations above which are the search and storage engine and the WebDAV server. The WebDAV server reflects the inner structure of the search and storage engine, when connection between the database and remote computers has been established. These three segments become a linked data transferring tunnel. The last chapter will then show the actual working progress of the whole system.
