Study Notes
- Middleware acts as a glue
Types of Middleware
- Database middleware is the most common, it enables access and interaction with different databases
- Message-oriented middleware allows software applications across multiple OS to receive and send messages
- Portals (Gateways) facilitate interactions between client and backend systems
- Enterprise Application Integration connects applications and data using a virtual layer
- Transactional Middleware ensures transaction between heterogeneous components go through all the necessary steps
Content Middleware
- This filters and blurs content
- Marshalling is a type of content middleware
Remote Procedure Call
- Allows one application to trigger a warning (function/method)
Device Middleware
- Bridges the gaps between other applications
ORB (Object Request Broker)
- Type of middleware connected to RPC object mining (using Spring Leaf)
