Toward Automatic State Management
Our objective is to facilitate caching and replication of dynamic content.
1. Consider a growing class of services built using server-side Java technology.
Leverage Java’s transportable code and data.
JavaServer Pages (JSPs) add useful constraint to Java’s servlets.
2. Focus on the subproblem of state management.
Internal service state must be consistent and current.
3. Goal: make state management automatic.
Can we transparently convert unscalable service implementations into scalable ones?
