Package: DotGNU Execution Environment
System name: dgee
Type: GNU

Description:
This project is the DotGNU Execution Environment, an addition to the current 
DotGNU development efforts.

Put simply, the DotGNU Execution Environment is the core architectural 
component that provides the functionality of accepting, validating and 
satisfying web service requests for DotGNU.

The DGEE integrates the components on the web service execution path into a 
unified application.

Such components would be network servers such as a web server, runtime engines 
such as portable.net, and security and authentication servers.

In its basic form the DGEE allows the installation and removal of web services 
within the repository, accepts XML-RPC requests for these web services and 
generates browsable documentation for these web services in HTML and XML form.

The DGEE will be extended by projects such as the SEE and VRS.  These too are 
execution environments and share the DGEE architecture and code base at heart, 
however they introduce the concept of distributed execution, distributed 
storage and distinct ownership of web services.

These enhancements are achieved by replacing functional modules of the basic 
DGEE with more elaborate versions, such that the web service repository becomes 
encrypted and distributed in the case of the VRS, or web service requests are 
forwarded on to another server if not available locally in the case of the SEE.

The DGEE is a fully functional system in active development that implements the 
core architecture described above.  It may be used whenever the complexity of 
the SEE or VRS is not required; and as a working model for the development of 
extension projects.

It already exists and you can download the latest distribution at 
http://www.nfluid.com/download/dgee-ph-gw-pre-0_1_0.tgz

Other Software Required:
portable.net (pnet)
pnetlib
expat

An apache module is supplied should users wish to front-end the DGEE with 
Apache.
