不知道如何实现。如果您有解决方案，请多多指导。先谢了。

JAVA:

   public Object regist(String username,HttpServletRequest request){
    
     System.out.println("regist user "+ username);
    
     updateUsersList(username,true,request);
    
    
     return new User("aaa","dsfdssdfdsf");
  
   }

只有在此 regist方法有返回值得情况下，回调函数才能取到传入的值。
传递的如果是串类的对象，没有问题，如果我传递的是一个对象，就不能取到。
如
  
   public Object regist(String username,HttpServletRequest request){
    
     System.out.println("regist user "+ username);
    
     updateUsersList(username,true,request);
    
    
     return new A("myname");
  
   }
   注意：A是一个inner class,是在ChatManager里面定义的内部类。
   class A{
     private String uname;
    
     public A(String uname){
        this.uname = uname;
     }
    
     public String getUname(){
        return this.uname;
     }
   };
这种情况下，回调函输取得的就是null.

  
  Search bs = new Search();
  bs.baseSearch(city + "/" + keyword);

  PoiDAO poidao = new PoiDAO();
  int count = 10;
  int page = 1;
  ArrayList arry = poidao.by_key_search("北京", "长安商场", count,
    page);
  System.out.println(arry.size());
  
  Document doc= DocumentFactory.getInstance().createDocument();
  doc.setXMLEncoding("UTF-8");
  Element root = doc.addElement("pois");
  
  root.addElement("poi")
  .addAttribute("pid", "1155")
  .addAttribute("longitude", "116.5864")
  .addAttribute("latitude", "39.8195");  
  
  
  ListIterator iter = arry.listIterator();
  while(iter.hasNext()){
  
   Poi p = (Poi)iter.next();
   //float lon = p.getLatitude();
   int id=p.getPoi_id();
   double lon=p.getLongitude();
   double lat = p.getLatitude();
   
   System.out.println("id is :  "+id);
   System.out.println("lon : " + lon);
   
   Element poi=root.addElement("poi")
    .addAttribute("pid", String.valueOf(p.getPoi_id()))
    .addAttribute("longitude", String.valueOf(lon))
    .addAttribute("latitude", String.valueOf(lat));   
  }
  
  try {
   PrintWriter w = response.getWriter();
   
   XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(w);
   writer.write(doc);
   
   writer.close();
   w.close();
   
  } catch (IOException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
  
  return null;
 }

下午的时候，总是在试图通过设置contentType来实现，结果是失败了。回来的路上，我就一直在想，能取到XML的串，不能取到XML的对象。那么也就是说，返回的数据是串，也就是文本类型。突然，我的脑海里闪现了一个问题，是不是返回的contentType没有设置成xml.
所以，我就在action里面，添加了
response.setContentType("text/xml");
重新测试，果然成功。
response.responseXML取到了对象。

问题就这样得到了解决。

问题总结：
如果想要通过AJAX的response.responseXML取得XML Document对象，那么就要在服务器的相应的时候设置ContextType为text/xml,否则的话，就只能去得到xml的文本串，不能得到DOM对象。

Abstract:

This report presents the conceptual (abstract) architecture of the Apache web server. It tries to emphasize the overall structure of the system, without going into implementation details, or requiring such details to be previously known by the reader. The main purpose is to make the architecture "intellectually tractable" ([Monroe97]).
The conceptual architecture has been inferred from a number of Apache related documents and from the way source files are grouped and named.
At a high level the Apache server architecture is composed of a core that implements the most basic functionality of a web server and a set of standard modules that actually service the phases of handling an HTTP request.
The server core accepts a HTTP request and implicitly invokes the appropriate handlers, sequentially, in the appropriate order, to service the request.
The report shows that the most similar architectural style (in the sense of ([Garlan94])) that can characterize the Apache architecture is "implicit invocation" , although the notion of event does not exist in the architecture.
The architecture offers great opportunities for extending or changing the Apache functionality, by the means of adding or replacing modules.

Apache, conceptual architecture, abstract architecture, web server

http://www.grad.math.uwaterloo.ca/~oadragoi/CS746G/a1/apache_conceptual_arch.html

1. Introduction

The report assumes no previous familiarity with the architecture of the Apache web server. So it can serve as an introductory reading on the architecture of the server.

It should be noted that the architecture described here might not be entirely accurate. It has been inferred based on several sources, including the overall structure of files and files name. It does not start from a previously existing complete design document.

1.1. About Apache

May be here is the place to mention that Apache is written to be drop-in compatible with the NCSA server. This has design consequences due related to some configuration commands promoted by NCSA server, which cannot be naturally implemented in Apache. These commands are supported in a way that, somehow, is not in the general "philosophy" of the system.([Thau96]). (more details in the configuration section).

1.2. Overview

2. High level Conceptual Architecture

Additional concerns related to controlling access authorization and clients authorizations are also in the responsibility of the web server. As has been said the web server might execute programs as response to clients requests. It must ensure that this is not a threat for the host system (were the web server runs). In addition, the web server must be capable, not only to respond to a high rate of requests, but also to satisfy a request as quickly as possible.

2.1. Description

Figure 1.High level Conceptual Architecture

3. The core and the modules

3.1. The core

The following are the components of the core:

• http_protocol.c: contains routines that directly communicates with the client (through the socket connection), following the HTTP protocol. All data transfers to the client are done using this component.
• http_main.c: the component that startup the server and contains the main server loop that waits for and accepts connections. It is also in charge of managing timeouts.
• http_request.c the component that handles the flow of the request processing, dispatching control to the modules in the appropriate order. It is also in charge with error handling.
• http_core.c: the component implementing the most basic functionality, which is described in a comment from a source file as being "just 'barely' functional enough to serve documents, though not terribly well". Another interesting quote from a source file comment illustrates very well the function of this component:"this file could almost be mod_core.c". Meaning that the component behaves like a module but has to access some globals directly (which is not characteristic for a module).
• the component that take care of allocating resource pools, and keeping track of them. (alloc.c)
• other utilities, including reading configuration files and managing the information gathered from those files (http_config.c), as well as support for virtual hosts. An important function of http_config is that form the list of modules that will be called to service different phases of the requests.

Figure 2. Architecture for Apache core

It is interesting to observed that although the components of the core have rather distinct functionality, there is not a simple way to depict the interactions between them. Most of the architectural information being in the names of the modules rather than in the connectors between them.

This is due to the considerably effort done by the designers to move everything that can be expressed as a separate entity into the modules part of the Apache server. What is left in the core are components too interconnected to be written as separate modules.

3.2. Request Phases

The following are the phases of handling a request for the Apache server:

• URI to filename translation;
• Check access based on host address, and other available information;
• Get an user id from the HTTP request and validate it;
• Authorize the user;
• Determine the MIME type of the requested object (the content type, the encoding and the language);
• Fix-ups (for example replace aliases by the actual path);
• Send the actual data back to the client;
• Log the request;

3.3. Modules

Figure 3. Architecture of an Apache Module

3.4. Handlers

Handlers are defined by modules, and a module might specify handlers for one, many or none of the phases of a request. Handlers are the part of the module that is called when the processing of the request enters the phase for which the handler is defined.

The rationale behind having modules defining handlers for more than one phase is that a module might save internally data on the request being processed, and when its handlers for a subsequent phase of the request are called they might make use of those the data. In theory the module might even save data between different request (e.g. it might cash some file content for future use).

It should be noted that there are additional functions exported by modules, related with configuration, and initialization, They are called in the startup phase of the server.

3.5. Standard Modules

• For URI to file name translation phase:
  • mod_userdir: translate the user home directories into actual paths mod_rewrite Apache 1.2 and up
  • mod_rewrite: rewrites URLs based on regular expressions, it has additional handlers for fix-ups and for determining the mime type
• For authentication / authorization phases:
  • mod_auth, mod_auth_anon,mod_auth_db, mod_auth_dbm : User authentication using text files, anonymous in FTP-style, using Berkeley DB files, using DBM files.
  • mod_access: host based access control.
• For determining the MIME type of the requested object (the content type, the encoding and the language):
  • mod_mime: determines document types using file extensions.
  • mod_mime_magic: determines document types using "magic numbers" (e.g. all gif files start with a certain code)
• For fix-ups phase:
  • mod_alias: replace aliases by the actual path
  • mod_env: fix-up the environment (based on information in configuration files)
  • mod_speling: automatically correct minor typos in URLs
• For sending actual data back to the client: to chose the appropriate module for this phase the mime type or the pseudo mime type (e.g. for a CGI-script) is used.
  • mod_actions: file type/method-based script execution
  • mod_asis: send the file as it is
  • mod_autoindex: send an automatic generated representation of a directory listing
  • mod_cgi: invokes CGI scripts and returns the result
  • mod_include: handles server side includes (documents parse by server which includes certain additional data before handing the document to the client)
  • mod_dir: basic directory handling.
  • mod_imap: handles image-map file
• For logging the request phase:
  • mod_log_*: various types of logging modules

4. Conceptual Architecture

For some phases only one module (handler in a module) can be called. Such phases are the authorization, the authentication, the return of the actual object to the client, and sometimes the URI to filename translation.
Other phases of servicing a request can have more that one handler called. For example there can be more than one module called to implement the logging part of the request.

In some phases of processing a request all the handlers (in the registered modules) might be called until one returns a special code meaning that subsequent registered handlers for the current phase should not be called. An example is the URI to filename, translation phase.
Further more there might be the case that a handler returns an error code. In that case the processing of the request should stop and an error should be returned to the client (i.e. no other handlers are called, from this phase or subsequent phases).

Figure 4. Conceptual Architecture of Apache Server

4.1. Concurrency in Apache

As a consequence, Apache uses a different technique, namely persistent server processes. It forks a fixed number of children, right from the beginning. The children service incoming requests independently (different address spaces). Concurrency in Apache server is pictured in Figure 5.
Alternatively, when Apache compiles on MS Windows (as opposed to UNIX), a fixed number of threads is started from the beginning to service the incoming request (due probably to specific characteristic of this operating system).

Figure 5. Concurrency on Apache(UNIX)

From another point of view one might raise the question if a module is a separated process or can be implemented as a separated process. In Apache module is not a separated process. However some modules might fork new children in order to do their job. A readily example is the mod_cgi module, which handles the cgi script. It must fork a new child to execute the actual CGI script (after proper redirection of the standard input and output for the child process), and wait for it to finish. But this is a characteristic of the mod_cgi, many other modules need not to fork children.

A different kind of module is the one that although it is not a separate process and does not for children it communicate through IPC mechanisms or sockets in with a different process (which might, for instance, be located on a different machine). An example of such module would be an authorization module which communicate with a server that manages users and passwords information. Even the CGI module might be implemented in this way (i.e. the actual script running as a completely different process not a child) which will result in improved security, but will have the communication overhead as a penalty.

5. Additional issues

5.1. Configuration of Apache Components

An interesting concept implemented by Apache is the one of Virtual Hosts. The server can respond to more than one name (i.e. www.example and www2.example), each assigned to one of the multiple IP addresses of the machine. The multiple IP addresses can be addresses associated with physical network interfaces or can be addresses associated with virtual network interfaces (simulated via logical devices by the operating system). Apache is able to "tell" under which name the host has been referenced and use different configuration options (e.g. allowing more access rights to users accessing the host through an interface networked in the local network, as opposed to users accessing the web server via an interface networked in the outside-the-company network). Modules also have accessed to this information.

To summarize, the Apache "philosophy" related to configuration is: each component takes care of its own configuration, and configuration commands. The server core parse the configuration files and dispatches configuration commands to the appropriate modules to be interpreted (executed), or interprets (executes) the command itself if in particular was meant for it (i.e. is a configuration command for the core not for a module).

5.2. Compatibility with NCSA server - impact on Architecture

To "fix" this the problem commands of NCSA server (e.g. Options) are interpreted by the Apache core, even when they affect modules. The core make the configuration available to modules in the same way it make available the general configuration information.

5.3. Data Flow / Data Structures

Another key structure is the one the Apache core uses keep track of various modules. It is a linked list of module records, each holding all the information related to that module (e.g. handlers, configuration data per module). The module record is the mean by which the core calls the module.

5.4.Resource Allocation - Resource Pool

What is characteristic for the resource pool, is that all resources are freed at once, when the resource pool is freed, preventing resource leakage. This is particularly important due to use of persistent processes.

6. Architectural Style

There is, however, something that might be compared with announcing an event, namely is the issuing of a sub-request by a module in order to "force" the core to perform some of the steps for a request on the sub-request (i.e. calling sequentially handlers for each servicing phase). However this is not (conceptually) a proper event, because the issuing module does not announce something to other (unknown to it) modules. It just a mean of "forcing" an implicit invocation.

There are other characteristics of event systems (as summarized in [Shaw96]) that does not "fit" the description of the core-modules architecture of Apache. For example there is no control asynchrony, in the sense that the module issuing a the sub-request waits for the sub-request to be completed.
Also two phases of the request cannot be handled in parallel (one uses the outcome of the precedent one). More over the module is not a separate process, although it can fork children for some phases - like running a CGI script.

So although the connectors between modules are implicit invocations and data flow is a tree - with some restrictions (e.g some phases cannot have more than one module to handle them, one phase is after the other) the architecture does not have other characteristics of the event systems.

It can be argued however that as different instances of Apache (sub-processes) can handle in the same time request from different HTTP clients there is asynchrony. However the different instances are independent and do not shared information related to the requests processed.

The way a request is serviced, with phases handled one after the other and the outcome of a request is used (most of the time) by the next phase, has some similarities with the general style of "pipe line" (as in [Shaw96])). There is no upstream control (i.e. when the core invokes the handlers for one phase there is no data or control upstream). However, again, there is no asynchrony and more important the core regain control after each phase (i.e. after the handler has been invoked, and its job is done).

Further more, some phases does not provide any change in the conceptual data-flow. And more significant, some handlers might be implemented by the same module and those handler might exchange information via private data of the module, bypassing the main data-flow. For example authorization and authentication does not change the request, they can only deny the execution of it. To conclude the pipeline is rather poorly reflected by the module structures, although conceptually the idea exists, therefore the implicit invocation seems more appropriate to characterize the general conceptual architectural style.

7. Extensibility of Apache

Further more the ability of dynamically loading modules present in Apache 1.3 release (no static linking with the server code), make the task of customizing the server even easier as there is no need to recompile the entire server. It is necessarily only to change some configuration files.
Another feature worth re-mentioning here is the capability of modules to define their own configuration commands, for which they are implicitly called to execute.

An important part of the Apache web server that cannot be changed only by changing / adding a module is the one that implements the HTTP protocol. On the good, side the protocol is implemented as a separate piece of code (http_protocol.c), and all communication with the client is done through it, so only that part must be changed in order to implement a future version of HTTP. However there is no well defined API, as is the case for modules.

8. Conclusions

The core is the one that accepts and manages HTTP connections and calls the handlers in modules in the appropriate order to service the current request.

The architectural style can be characterized implicit invocation made by the server core on handlers implemented by the modules. Concurrency exists only between a number of persistent identical processes that service incoming HTTP requests on the same port. Modules are not implemented as separate process although it is possible to fork children or to cooperate with other independent process to handle a phase of processing a request.

The functionality of Apache can be easily changed by writing new modules which complements or replace the existing one. The server is also highly configurable, at different levels (virtual host, directory, module) and modules can define their own configuration commands.
