Scalable Programming Abstractions for XML Services

PublisherEcole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne

Traditional programming paradigms and styles do not lend themselves easily to XML services. This has led to engineered systems that are characterized by a mix of special purpose and general purpose languages. Such systems are brittle, hard to understand and do not scale well - hence they are not dependable. This paper describes some facets of the Scala programming language targeted at XML services that unify the disparate worlds through a judicious combination of existing and new programming language constructs. Programs that use these abstractions can deliver XML services in a scalable and manageable way. This paper discusses the essential design decisions it took, the experience it gained during development, and identifies directions of further research.
