Abstract

Machine readable documents connect businesses with customers, suppliers and trading partners. The self defining electronic documents, such as XML based documents, can be easily understood amongst the partners. Definitions of these electronics business documents, called business interface definitions, are posted on the Internet, or otherwise communicated to members of the network. The business interface definitions tell potential trading partners the services the company offers and the documents to use when communicating with such services. Thus, a typical business interface definition allows a customer to place an order by submitting a purchase order or a supplier checks availability by downloading an inventory status report. Also, composition of the input and output documents, coupled with interpretation information in a common business library, programs the transaction in a way which closely parallels the way in which paper based businesses operate.

Therefore, the invention provides a technology, utilize this technology, the participant in the market can discern itself, and the type of identification input document and the type of output document, utilizes these recognition results participant in the market will carry out business activity.Be not included in by the ad hoc fashion of contained content in transaction all the other sides or this these documents of local processing and set up commercial relations and carry out in the process of issued transaction.

Fig. 3 provides a reduced graph, shows according to the participant site in the network of the present invention.Site shown in Figure 3 comprises a network interface 300, and it links to each other with communication network on port 301.Network interface links to each other with document syntax analyzer 301.Syntax analyzer 301 will offer translator module 302 from the logical organization of input document, translator module will be imported document translation and become the operable form of main transaction system, and conversely the output of main procedure is translated into commercial interface definition in output document form document matching form so that be sent to the destination.The definition of the commercial interface of storage responds in 302 pairs of participant's modules 303 of syntax analyzer 301 and translater.

The signal event that will send from the output data structure and the syntax analyzer 301 of translater 302 offers issued transaction process front end 304 together.Front end 304 among embodiment comprises that JAVA virtual machine or other similarly are suitable for the interface of communicating by letter between the different sites of network.The incident of 304 pairs of syntax analyzers 301 of issued transaction front end and translater 302 expressions responds, and sends the suitable function that links to each other with the participant in business system and the network to so that will import data.Therefore the issued transaction process front end in Fig. 3 example 304 and business function 305, database function 306, such as other enterprise features 307 such as accounting and book keeping operations, and link to each other with processor 308 with special incident listener, wherein install 308 and be designed to the represented incident of response syntax analyzer.

Syntax analyzer 301 obtains the similar order of going up in the example, perhaps according to other document of commercial interface definition regulation, and produces one group of incident, and described incident is known with local matter Processing Structure (such as one group of JAVA incident of JAVA virtual machine).

Syntax analyzer of the present invention does not link to each other with the program of listening to incident according to the reception document.Satisfy the reception document of certain specification explanation or each marker field of full document and work to listen to function command, handle so that begin.Therefore, listen to program and finish the business logic relevant with document information.For example, relevant with address element program can be the code that postcode is come into force by the inspection database.These listeners are by registering subscription event with the document router, and router sends to relevant incident to they interested all users.

For example, can monitor the order of afore mentioned rules with the program of the incident of listening to the syntax analyzer generation, this program can link to each other document or its content with the order loading routine.The description of product that receives in the purchase order will call a program, to check stock.Then, the address information that receives in the purchase order will be called a program, to check the availability of delivery service.Buyer's information field in the document can call some processes, to check the purchase order history of credit rating, perhaps provides to promote or similarly handle on the basis of known consumer's identity.

Complicated listener can be configured and constitutes original listener.For example, the order listener can comprise and call the inventory listener that provides the last period, perhaps can be to himself calling the inventory member.Notice that the application program of listener operation can not be this machine XML process or this machine JAVA process.In these cases, object can be converted to the desired form of reception conversion application.When application program is finished processing, the XML form is changed back in its output, so that be transferred to other site in the network.

As can be seen, above-mentioned market participates in the document-type description and the description of affairs document-type comprises a reflection that schematically is used for the document logical block, and comprise the SGML based on natural language.Other natural language attribute of natural language mark and XML is convenient to XML phenotypic marker language is used for explanation to commercial interface definition, service describing and to the description of input and output document.

Participant's module 303 is except the definition of storage commercial interface, also comprise a program compiler, it is used for compiling object or other data structure that issued transaction process front end 304 will use, wherein issued transaction process front end 304 is corresponding to the logical organization of input in the document, and translater 302 is compiled.Therefore, when changing owing to the affairs that relate to as the participant, the participant can revise or upgrade the commercial interface definition, so translater 302 and syntax analyzer 301 will keep up-to-date automatically.

In a preferred embodiment, use program compiler to produce one group of JAVA incident corresponding to grove type SGML, be mainly " performance group " that standard component structural information group increases each element.International standard ISO/IEC10179:1996 (E), the semantic and descriptive language (DSSSL) of infotech--processing language--document-type.XML document is become one group of global event, so that contrast normal analytical model, in normal analytical model, the output of syntax analyzer remains inner data structure.Be suitable for the programming structure that each site issued transaction front end uses by the element of XML document being translated into JAVA incident or other, can obtain rich functions using by place, the site of transaction document.

Therefore, issued transaction process front end 304 can openly be operated, and subscribes and can increase the listener program and need not know or influence that other listens to the structure of program in the system.Each listener 305,306,307 among Fig. 3 and 308 keeps a formation, and front end 304 is by this formation guiding incident.This can make a plurality of listeners handle by himself step parallel processing incident.

In addition, according to the present invention, the application program of listener operation does not need this machine XML function, perhaps this machine function that is complementary with the input document format.If issued transaction process front end 304 is JAVA interfaces, these listeners can be the JAVA functions so, or according to the function of unique issued transaction structure operation.In these cases, object can be converted to the desired form of reception application program.When the application program of listener finishes, the document format that defines defined as commercial interface in the module 303 is changed back in its output.Therefore, translater 302 links to each other with network interface 300, and being directly used in provides the document of organizing, as output.

The listener that links to each other with the issued transaction front end can comprise the listener that is used for importing the document listener, is used to import the concrete element of document, and the listener that is used for being stored in the attribute of importing the document element-specific.This can carry out different and realize flexibly the issued transaction process at participant site place, so that filter and response input document.

Fig. 4 shows the process that receives and handle the input document for the system of Fig. 3.Therefore, to begin be to receive a document (step 400) at network interface to process.Syntax analyzer is in response to commercial interface definition identification Doctype (401).Utilize this commercial interface definition (it has stored the DTD of XML format file), document is carried out grammatical analysis (step 402).Next, the element with document becomes nominative formula (step 403) with attributed translation.In this example, the XML logical organization is translated into the JAVA object, this object be loaded with the XML element data and with such as obtaining and be provided with the relevant methods of data such as function.Next, main object is passed to the processing front end (step 404) of being engaged in of taking charge.In response to syntax analyzer and the represented incident of translater, these objects are offered some process.Execution is used to receive the process of document elements, and produces an output (step 405).Output translated into as commercial interface define defined output document form (step 406).In this example, translation proceeds to the form of XML document from the form of JAVA object.At last, by network interface output document is sent to the destination.

Fig. 5 has described the event generating/incident listener mechanism of system shown in Figure 3 in more detail.In general, method shown in Figure 5 is concise to JAVA JDK 1.1 event models.In this model, consider three kinds of objects.First kind to as if event object, it comprises the information that incident takes place.Many kinds of event objects can be arranged, and they are corresponding to all contingent different event.Second kind to as if event generating, its surveillance operation, and when some thing takes place when the generation event object.The third is the incident listener, and it listens to the event object that is produced by event generating.The incident listener is generally listened to special event generating, such as clicking on specific window with Genius mouse.The incident listener calls " increasing the incident listener " on event generating.This model is applicable to the environment of Fig. 3, and in the environment of Fig. 3, response analysis and passing by such as the represented object curve of XML document produces each object.

System shown in Figure 5 comprises a common XML syntax analyzer 500.This syntax analyzer can be realized with the readjustment model of standard.When the analysis incident took place, syntax analyzer called the ad hoc approach in the application, the appropriate information in passing a parameter.Therefore, single application program 501 and syntax analyzer are together.Represented as square frame 502, application program encapsulates the information that syntax analyzer provided in the XML event object, and sends it to many incident listeners of having discerned itself.502 pairs of syntax analyzers of event group are fully independently.Incident 502 can be offered any many listeners and any multithreading (thread) on any number machine.In another case, incident is based on element structure message block ESIS.Therefore, they comprise the inventory that the importance by file structure constitutes, such as the beginning and the end of element, perhaps to the identification of attribute.XML (and SGML) syntax analyzer generally is used as one group of default information with the ESIS structure, returns its application program for syntax analyzer.

Special-purpose ESIS listener 503 is linked to each other with one group of incident 502.This listener 503 is realized ESIS listener API, and listens to all the XML incidents from one or more makers.Elementary event maker 504 is a kind of special-purpose ESIS listeners, and it also is an XML event generating.Its listener only is to the interested object of the incident of specific type element.For example in the HTML environment, listener is only interested in the order, this just＜OL and＜/OL documentation section between the label.In another example, listener is listened to " party.name " element according to public business language from the above document that exemplifies, perhaps " service.name " element; Processing events is carried the data that the schematic reflection with element is complementary to guarantee element; And work according to receiving the required process in site.

This permission system has less object, and they listen to the specific part of document, such as an addition price part.Because listener can increase from maker and delete itself, so can there be a listener only to listen to use html document＜head〉part.Owing to the height recursive nature of this reason and XML document, thus can write out the code of height targeted, and write out the listener of setting out.For example,＜OL〉listener can set up＜LI〉listener, its mode is totally independent of＜UL〉(inventory of not ordering) listener sets up it＜LI〉mode of listener.Another kind method is, sets up a listener that produces graphical user interface, sets up another listener with same inputted search digital library.Therefore, regard document as carry out program, check that with application program is each one section concise data structure is opposite by listener.If write application program in this way, will entire document not put into internal memory so, with executive utility.

The next listener that links to each other with event group 502 is an attribute filtrator 505.The plain filtrator 504 of attribute filtrator 505 picture dots equally is the attribute event maker according to the ESIS listener model.The listener that is used for the attribute filtrator has been stipulated its interested attribute, and receives the incident of any element with this regulation attribute.Therefore for example, the script management device receives only the elementary event with font attribute, such as＜P FONT=" Times Roman "/p 〉.

Elementary event maker 504 provides this dvielement object, so that make element listener 504A specialization.

Attribute event maker 505 offers attribute listener 505A with the attribute event object.Equally, converting to from a kind of Doctype on the meaning of alternative SGML/XML conversion, attributes object is offered a kind of " structure " with attribute.Therefore, the structure of 505B allows a specific attribute to have a differentiable specific names.The element that only has this regulation attribute just can become the part of output document, and the element term in the output document is the property value in the input document.For example, as fruit structure 505B is HTML, so string:＜PURCHASES HTML=" OL "〉＜ITEM HTML=" LI "〉＜NAME HTML=" B "〉STUFF＜/NAME〉＜PRICE HTML=" B "〉123＜/PRICE〉＜/ITEM〉＜/PURCHASES 〉

Translate into:＜OL＜LI〉＜B〉STUFF＜/B〉＜B〉123＜/B〉＜/LI〉＜/OL 〉

This is correct HTML.

The next module that links to each other with event group 502 is that tree constitutes device.Tree constitutes device and gets an XML flow of event, and produces the tree of representing basic file.Tree constitutes a kind of preferred versions of device 506 according to the normalized illustration of W3C (referring to, http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/WD-DOM-19980720), produces DOM Document Object Model DOM object 507.But, can handle most of requirements with the listener in the flow of event, what the version of tree was applicable to the inquiry supported around document, site reorders, creates new document, and supports to can be used to repeatedly to produce the data structure structure in the internal memory of same flow of event, for example resembles repeatedly analytical documentation.Special use can be constituted device 508 and link to each other,, adapt to a specific performance so that be the special subtree of various piece formation of document with tree formation device 506.

Except response input document, can also provide other source of XML incident.Therefore, the primitive event stream by pass by DOM object tree and regeneration are set up during to document analysis produces flow of event 510.This permission system show document analyzed several times.

The idea that makes object pass by tree and produce flow of event can be generalized to beyond the DOM object tree, is generalized to any object tree that can address inquires to.Therefore, JAVA walking device 512 can be the application program of JAVA beans member tree 513 of passing by.Walking device pass by all field that can openly visit and methods.Walking device is followed the tracks of the object that it had been visited, and guarantees not enter endless loop.JAVA incident 514 is event types that JAVA walking device 512 produces.This generally includes the information of most of types that can derive from object.This is the JAVA equivalent of ESIS, and allows identical programmed method is applied to generally will be used for the XML of JAVA object, although especially for the JAVA beans.

JAVA to XML event generating 515 has been constructed JAVA listener and JAVA event generating.Its receives the flow of event 514 from JAVA walking device 512, and translation chosen, so that the JAVA Object table is shown as XML document.In a preferred embodiment, event generating 515 exploitation JAVA beans API.Each observed object becomes an element, and element term is identical with item name.In element, each embedding grammar also becomes such element, and its content is the value of returning by call method.If it is an object or an array of objects, so to they walkings in turn.

Fig. 6 has described the application-specific set up on Fig. 5 framework.This application program obtains in XML document 600, and is applied to syntax analyzer/maker 601.Produce ESIS incident 602 and provide it to attribute maker 603 and tree formation device 604.The attribute maker is corresponding to the maker 505 of Fig. 5.It offers incident " structure " 505B, so that for example HTML output is translated in the XML input.Represented as square frame 605, these incidents of parallel processing, and handle with listener.The output of listener is offered document Write 506, and then, the XML form is got back in translation, exports.Therefore for example, application program shown in Figure 6 is got XML document, and output comprises a kind of html document of form.Then, this form is sent to browser, and the result is converted back into XML.For this exercise, structuring concept provides the reflection from XML to HTML.Comprise three kinds of structures among Fig. 6, a kind of structure that html document is provided is such as form and tabulation; Stipulated the text that will show for second kind, such as the input field sign on the visit device document; The third has described input field itself.Under the HTML form, require in the XML document to keep the element of XML document structure to become invisible field.This is applicable to that by such signal reconstruct XML document wherein the client is translated into HTTP mailing message with described information, beams back server.Each architecture obtains the input document, and converts thereof into the architecture based on the HTML subclass.Listen to the incident of the listener output html document of these incidents, these incidents walk to document Write object then.Document Write object is listened to the XML incident, and they are converted back to XML document.In this example, listen to the element maker of architecture for all, the document Write is to liking a listener.

The make of Fig. 5 and processing module shown in Figure 6 has been represented an embodiment of syntax analyzer and issued transaction process front end in Fig. 3 system.As seen from the figure, provide a kind of interface very flexibly,,, carried out various issued transaction processes in response to the document format of input XML document or other structure by this interface.

Fig. 7 shows the similar site with Fig. 3, and difference is that it comprises that the commercial interface definition constitutes device module 700.Therefore, the system of Fig. 7 comprises network interface 701, document syntax analyzer 702 and document translation device 703.Translater 703 offers issued transaction front end 704 with other output, and issued transaction front end 704 with listen to function such as business function 705, database 706, enterprise feature 707 and other common listener with processor 708 etc. and link to each other.As shown in Figure 7, the commercial interface definition constitutes device 700 and comprises user interface, public commercial storehouse CBL resources bank, is used to read the process of replenishing the commercial interface definition, and program compiler.User interface relies on public commercial base resource storehouse and sets up commercial interface definition with helping enterprise, and reads the ability of replenishing the commercial interface definition.Therefore, the input document that replenishes the commercial interface definition can be appointed as the output document of particular transaction, and the output document that replenishes the commercial interface definition can be appointed as the input of this issued transaction process.Use similar method, can become the definition of affairs commercial interface with the component groups of selecting from the CBL resources bank.Use the CBL resources bank to encourage to use standardized document format, such as the above-mentioned pattern that exemplifies (bidl) document, logical organization and explain information when constituting the commercial interface definition, wherein the commercial interface definition is easy to be adopted by other people in the network.

The commercial interface definition constitutes device module 700 and also comprises a program compiler, and it is with generating translater 703, the object that translater is produced according to the affair processing architecture of taking charge, and administrative analysis function 702.

Fig. 8 is a didactic figure, shows the logical organization in the resources bank that is stored in commercial interface definition formation device 700.Therefore, party concerned's commercial interface definition 800 is represented in the resources bank storage, comprises for example consumer BID 801, catalogue storehouse BID 802, warehouse BID 803 and auction storehouse BID 804.Therefore, the new participant on the online market can be elected to be a kind of standardization BID that meets its business activity most the basic interface description.In addition, resources bank will be stored one group and serve commercial interface definition 805.For example, can store purchase order and enter that BID 806, purchase order follow the tracks of BID 807, purchase order is fulfiled BID 808 and directory service BID 809.When the new participant in the market constituted a commercial interface definition, it can select to be stored in the commercial interface definition of the standardization service in the resources bank.

Except party concerned and service BID, shown in field 810, input and output document BID is stored in the resources bank.Therefore, can report BID 814 with purchase order BID 811, invoice BID 812, request quotation BID813, product available quantity, and purchase order state BID 815 is stored in the resources bank.

Except being appointed as the commercial interface definition of DTD (Document Type Definition) according to XML in preferred embodiment, shown in field 816, resources bank is stored the explain information of semantic reflection form.Therefore, the semanteme reflection that is used for predetermined weight 817, currency 818, size 819, product identifiers 820 and product performance 821 in this example can be stored in resources bank.In addition, explain information provides type for the data structure in the document logical structure.

In addition, shown in square frame 822, can be stored in the resources bank forming the logical organization of using when commercial interface defines.Therefore, square frame 825 can be provided for providing the form 823 of address signal, the form of quotation signal 824 is provided and provides contractual relation every form.When network enlarges, the CBL resources bank also will enlarge and standardization, so that new participant's increase and more convenient to the modification of commercial interface definition.

Fig. 9 shows the process that constitutes the commercial interface definition with Fig. 7 system.Process starts from showing that to the user BID constitutes device graphic interface (step 900).System accepts user's input, participant, service and document information (step 901) that identification is produced by graphic interface.

Next, response is retrieved any logical organization that is cited, explain information and document definition and/or service definition (step 902) by user's input of graphical user interface from resources bank.In next step,,, visit any additional commercial interface definition or the member (step 903) of commercial interface definition by search engine, web browser or the similar means of customization by other participant who chooses by user's input in the network.Set up participant's document definition (step 904) with the information of collecting.Set up the translater (step 905) of document with program compiler to host and host to document.Set up the primary architectural data structure (step 906) corresponding with program compiler with definition, and the commercial interface that mailing has been set up on network definition, such as being posted in World Wide Web website or other place, make it for other site addressable (step 907) in the network.

The online service that potential trading partner company is provided is told in the commercial interface definition, and which document to call these services with.Therefore, accept with their and the document that produces with service definition in the commercial interface definition.In the fragment of following XML service definition, this point is described.<service>????<service．name>Order?Service<／service．name>????<service．location>www．veosystems．com／order<／service．location>????<service．op>????<service．op．name>Submit?Order<／service．op．name>????<service．op．inputdoc>www．commerce．net／po．dtd<／service．op．inputdoc>????<service．op．outputdoc>???????????www．veosystems．com／invoice．dtd<／service．op．outputdoc>????<／service．op>????<service．op>????<service．op．name>Track?Order<／service．op．name>????<service．op．inputdoc>?www．commerce．net???????????／request．track．dtd<service．op．inputdoc>????<service．op．outputdoc>???????????www．veosystems．com／response．track．dtd<service．op．outputdoc>????<／service．op>????<／service>

This XML fragment has defined the service of being made up of two affairs, and a kind of affairs are to obtain purchase order, and another kind of affairs are used to follow the tracks of them.If will effectively ask to send to the Weg address of regulation, a kind of contact or promise of fulfillment service represented in each definition so.Here purchase order service needs a kind of input document, and the document meets standard in the resources bank " po.dtd " DTD (Document Type Definition), and it can be local, perhaps is stored in the industry scope registration on the network.If this purchase order can be fulfiled in a site, it will return a document that meets customization " invoice.dtd " so, and its definition is local.In fact, company promise to undertake with send purchase order anyone make business, wherein purchase order meets the XML normalized illustration that its requires.Without any need for arrangement formerly.

DTD is formal Specification explanation or the grammer with document of given type; It has described the order that element, its attribute and they must occur.For example, purchase order generally comprises the buyer and the seller's title and address, a set product and describes, and such as term and conditions such as price and Shipping Dates.For example in electronic data interchange EDI, X12 850 is a kind of purchase order models commonly used.

Resources bank encourages to use for the public semantic component of reusing of many commercial fields to develop the XML document model.This class document can usually be understood from their common message unit, even they can show very difficultly.This is the effect in public commercial base resource storehouse.

Public commercial base resource is made up of the information model of general commercial notion, and described notion comprises:

● such as the commercial primitive of describing such as company, service and product;

● such as business forms such as catalogue, purchase order and invoices;

● gauge, date and time, position, classification code.

This information table is shown as one group of open-ended, disclosed XML constitutes piece, company can customize and assemble these and constitute piece, develops the XML application program fast.Atom CBL element has realized that the message of industry sends standard and pact, such as the standard ISO code that is used for country, currency, address and time.Rudimentary CBL semanteme is also to the analysis of (such as, Dublin nuclear) of the metadata frame of the recommendation of Internet resources.

The element of next grade constitutes pieces with these and realizes basic business form, such as the form of those forms of using in X12 EDI issued transaction and those use when forming internet standard (such as open transaction agreement OTP and open purchase OBI on the internet).

The emphasis of CBL is (to describe primitive such as commerce such as company, service and products for all commercial fields public function and information; Such as business forms such as catalogue, purchase order and invoices; Gauge, period and time, position, classification code).CBL constitutes (for example, to following rule encoding, promptly " the date/month part/time " in regulation Europe is to " month/date/time " of the U.S. in discrete CBL model) on possible semantic criteria or industry pact.

CBL is a kind of language that is used for design application.It is designed to connect the gap between XML " the document world " and JAVA " the programming world " or other issued transaction architecture.Pattern embodied the philosophical thinking of a kind of " programming " with document, in the method, the detailed form normalized illustration of Doctype is main source, can generate various relevant forms by this main source.These forms comprise the XML DTD, the JAVA object that are used for CBL, be used for the example of XML and corresponding JAVA object is changed mutually and the program of supporting documentation.

CBL sets up single source, program compiler by this source can automatic creation system nearly all fragment.CBL comes work by expanding SGML/XML, and SGML/XML is commonly used to formally define the structure of particular document type, so that comprise the normalized illustration of the semanteme relevant with each information element and attribute.Can expand limited group that forms by the most of character types of SGML/XML, to define any kind of data type.

Here be a fragment about " time on date " module from the CBL definition:＜!--datetime.mod Version:1.0--〉＜!--Copyright 1998 Veo Systems, Inc.--〉...＜! ELEMENT year (#PCDATA)〉＜! ATTLIST year schema CDATA #FIXED " urn:x-veosystems:stds:iso:8601:3.8 "〉＜! ELEMENT month (#PCDATA)〉＜! ATTLIST month schema CDATA #FIXED " urn:x-veosystems:stds:iso:8601:3.12 " 〉

In this fragment, element " year " is defined as character data, and relevant " pattern " attribute also is defined as character data, the mode-definition that it will " year " is that 3.8 of ISO 8601 standards save.

This " time on date " CBL module in fact is defined as the example of pattern DTD.At first, definition module title.Then, " time on date " element " year " is restricted to the semanteme of ISO 8601.<！?DOCTYPE??SCHEMA??SYSTEM?″schema．dtd″>????<SCHEMA><H1>Date?and?Time?Module<／H1>????…????<ELEMNTTYPE?NAME=″year″DATATYPE=″YEAR″><MODEL>???????????<STRING????DATATYPE=″YEAR″><／STRING><／MODEL>????<ATTDEF?NAME=：schema：iso8601″DATATYPE=″CDATA″>???????????<FIXED>3．?8????Gregorian?calendar<／FIXED><／ATTDEF><／ELEMENTTYPE>

Above-mentioned participant in the market who exemplifies and service module also are stored in the CBL resources bank.

In Figure 10, by customizing common purchase order DTD 1001, increase the information 1002 about transporting weight more specifically, define aviation bill 1000.Common purchase order 1001 is initial all with relevant address, date and time, currency, and the CBL module of selling the product description of advocating peace is assembled.Therefore, use CBL obviously to quicken the exploitation and the enforcement of XML business applications.The more important thing is that CBL makes the easier interconnection of business applications.

In CBL, expand XML with a kind of pattern.Being extended for the XML element has increased strongly-typed, causes to be easy to make content effective.For example, can be with element＜CPU_clock_speed〉being defined as one, to have one group of effective value be the { integer of 100,133,166,200,233,266 Mhz}.Pattern has also increased the level of class-subclass, causes to be easy to by class definition illustration information.For example, laptop computer can be described as a computing machine of feature additional labels such as having relevant display type and battery life.These and other expansion has made things convenient for the input of data, and the automatic translation between XML and traditional OO and relational data model.

Therefore, by program compiler, JAVA beans and the complete BID of transcode operation, program compiler is that the practical examples of participant and service produces DTD as mentioned above, and the JAVA beans are corresponding to the logical organization in the DTD example, and transcode is used for from XML to JAVA and from the conversion of JAVA to XML.In other systems, also generate document, be presented on the user interface, perhaps print, so that the use of object by the user.

For the above-exemplified market participants and service DTD, generated by the compiler JAVA beans narrative As follows (for simplicity, the use of some of the new version): import com. veo. vsp. doclet. meta.

Utilize various tool and BID applied in any combination program (towing is provided, abandons and form the compiles user interface), developers can be set up the commercial interface definition, and produces commercial interface definition fine formation, effective with the XML document form.Therefore, the exemplary commercial interface definition that example was used, was used for the IBM order service and orders other order service of laptop computer from IBM by Ingram Micro working time.(it doesn't matter between applicant and IBM or the Ingram Micro).Utilize these processes, the user can set up a kind of system and allow to use the document of the definition according to the present invention that commercial interface is programmed.

By the following explanation that purchase order is handled, can further understand CBL of the present invention and the effect of BID processor under the XML/JAVA environment.

The A of company defines its purchase order Doctype with a visible programmed environment, wherein said programmed environment comprises a storehouse of being made up of CBL DTD and module, and CBL DTD and module all are with public business language element definition, so they comprise data type and other explain information.The PO of the A of company can just provide more generally " affairs document " scope in CBL storehouse only to comprise minimum customization, and perhaps it can be constructed by address, period and CBL modules such as time, currency fully.

The document (such as above-mentioned transact.dtd) that is used for general " affairs document " normalized illustration represented set up by module and with the mode of the CBL normalized illustration of the mutual chain of other CBL DTD.

Program compiler obtains the purchase order definition, and generates several different object forms.All these object forms can be derived by " tree " conversion of original normalized illustration.The most important place of this example is:

(a) be used for the XML DTD of purchase order

(b) JAVA beans, the data structure (setting up the structure of JAVA class, shape ginseng, data type, method and exception) of its encapsulation purchase order corresponding to the information in the purchase order mode-definition.

(c) " extradition " program, the purchase order that it will meet purchase order DTD converts purchase order JAVA beans to, perhaps they is loaded into database, perhaps sets up HTML (perhaps XSL format sheet), is used for purchase order is presented at browser.

(d) " non-extradition " program, it is the extracted data value from purchase order JAVA beans, and converts them to meet with purchase order DTD XML document.

Return script now.Purchase applications produces a purchase order, and this purchase order meets the DTD that is appointed as service interface for the supplier who accepts purchase order.

Syntax analyzer resolves into information flow about its contained element and property value with purchase order DTD with the purchase order example.Then, by wrap up these " characteristic groups " with the JAVA code, convert them to corresponding JAVA event object.In fact, this conversion is regarded the fragment of mark XML document as customize in the programming language instruction, and its grammer is defined by DTD.Can handle these JAVA incidents with the extradition application program that program compiler generates now, so that " loading " JAVA beans data structure.

Convert XML document the incident of one group of JAVA application program to so that handle, this does not resemble the normal analytical model that syntax analyzer output is kept as internal data structure, and processing just begins after analysis finishes.Response BID definition, be to make processor have multi-purpose key based on the processing of incident, because its allows to begin to handle the document application program of setting out once first incident of sending.

Be used for of the mode-definition generation of the JAVA program of " listening to " all kinds incident by those incidents.These listeners are the programs that are used for finishing the business logic relevant with XML definition among the CBL, and for example relevant with " address " element can be by checking that database makes the effective code of postcode.These listeners are by coming " order " incident to the document router registers, and wherein the document router guides relevant incident to all to they users interest.

This announcement and subscribe architecture and represent to increase new listener program, and need not know or do not influence existing listener program.Each listener all has a formation, and router is introduced this formation with its incident, and this formation can make the step parallel processing incident of a plurality of listeners with himself.

For the purchase order that exemplifies, can there be listener here with following purposes:

● purchase order, it can link to each other with the order loading routine,

● product description, it can check stock position,

● address information, it can check Fed Ex or other postal delivery service,

● buyer's information, it can be checked and order history (about credit rating, perhaps promoting, is who similarly handles according to known customer perhaps).

Can create complicated listener (for example, the purchase order listener can comprise and call these listeners here, and perhaps they can be called by self) by configuration to original listener.

Figure 11 shows the market maker site in Fig. 1 network.Market maker site comprises the basic structure of Fig. 3 system, comprises network interface 1101, and document syntax analyzer 1102, the document translater 1103 to host and host to document, and front end 1104 are referred to as router in this example.Market maker's module 1105 in this example comprises that one group of commercial interface definition or other are enough to identifier, the CBL resources bank for the participant support the market fabricator's function in the market, and program compiler, and all these is participant in the market's service.Router one 104 comprises that the participant registers and the document filtrator, they come route to select the input document corresponding to the incident of translater output place generation and by syntax analyzer according to element between participant's registration and the listener and attribute filtrator, and they are offered the XML event generating.Therefore, some participant in the market can register and receive the document that satisfies preset parameter.For example, can filter document at router one 104 places with following input document, described input document is according to specific DTD, and comprises such as product forward purchasing number and perhaps to purchase the attributes such as ceiling price of document request in advance greater than threshold value.Then, only send those corresponding to documents of information of in router one 104 places and participant's registration, being registered to registered participant.

Router one 104 can also provide this landlord to serve 1105 and 1106, therefore plays the participant and the market maker in the market.In general, the document that traversal router one 104 receives so that determine the destination that these documents should be sent to, if must pass back by translater 1103 once more, and spreads out of network interface 1101 here, arrives destination separately.

The market maker is a server, and it bundles with the commerce services outside one group of inside, to produce enterprise or trading crowd like the void.Server perhaps sends to ERP system with purchase order by the product data request is switched to LIST SERVER, comes the input document is carried out grammatical analysis, and calls suitable service.Server is also handled translation duties, will from the information of company's XML document video the used document format of transaction party concerned with and the desired data layout of legacy system.

For above-mentioned service definition, when company sent a purchase order, the XML syntax analyzer in the server converted the purchase order example to message event stream with purchase order DTD.Then, send these incidents to such application program, these application programs are compiled into the incident with certain type of handling; In some cases, by the internet with information completely send to different enterprises.In the example of purchase order, some application programs can work to the information from syntax analyzer:

● the order loading routine is processed into a complete message with purchase order;

● ERP system is checked the stock of product described in the purchase order;

● customer database checking or renewal client's address;

● the schedule that carrier uses the address information arrangement to send;

● bank gives Trading Authorization with credit card information.

The transaction party concerned only needs to reach an agreement with regard to structure, content and the sequence of the business document of their exchange, does not need the details of API is reached an agreement.How handling document and producing what action is that strictness is decided by the enterprise that service is provided.This has improved from system-level integrated to enterprise-level.This makes enterprise show the clear and stable interface with other business partner, although its internal technology is implemented, tissue or handle in exist and change.

Figure 12,13 and 14 shows in Figure 11 system, the process of carrying out at place, market maker site.In Figure 12,, receive input document (step 1200) from former participant site at the network interface place.Document is carried out grammatical analysis (step 1201).Document translation is become host's form, for example from XML to JAVA (step 1202).Send formative incident of host and object to router services (step 1203) then.Identification is registered and is used for receiving according to Doctype and document content the service (step 1204) of document.Send the part of document or document to be identified service (step 1205).Serve (step 1206) in response to document content.Produce the output data (step 1207) of service.Convert output to document format, for example become XML form (step 1208) from the JAVA format conversion.At last, output document is sent to participant site (step 1209).
