Building a XML based Object Mapping System (OMS)

Abstract

Client/server computing has created a deep paradigmatic shift in the information technology (IT) industry. It is replacing colossal monolithic mainframe systems with applications split across different computation units (clients and servers). Stateless business objects in the form of XML strings are a paradigm shift within a paradigm shift; this is a new client server revolution within the client server revolution. Stateless business objects in XML format break-up the client and server sides of an application into independent components that can interact together and roam across networks, with a unique and flexible interface definition. This paper proposes using the OMS (Object Mapping System) architecture template, to help system designers in building modern generic XML.
