Description

Business logic execution device and method

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications and Internet technologies, and in particular, to a service logic executing apparatus and method.

Background technique

In order to meet the various levels and diverse needs of users, when a service is used to implement these functions, a single service generally cannot complete all the requirements, and must rely on multiple services to cooperate with each other to achieve the purpose. More and more communication operators and Internet vendors are opening up their basic business capabilities for third-party SPs (Service Providers) or individual developers to develop complex and higher-level rich applications based on these capabilities.

These capabilities are generally open to Web services or REST (Representational State Transfer) interfaces for third-party calls. For service composition, there are generally two methods: Service Orchestration and Service Choreography. . In the Internet domain, Mashup technology can be used to integrate multiple capabilities into Internet applications that meet user needs.

Both communication operators and Internet vendors are building their own business platforms. These business platforms generally aggregate three types of resources, namely: various business capabilities from the telecommunications domain, the Internet domain, and the IT (Information Technology) domain. Engine; various content resources such as pictures, voice, video, and IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) programs; and cloud computing resources such as computing power, storage, and bandwidth. These resources can be opened to the developer by the business platform and create new applications. They can also be directly used by third-party SP/CP (Service Provider/Content Provider) through the resource open interface.

The logic execution device of the above service platform is shown in FIG. 1 . The main unit related to the execution of the business logic in the service platform includes a service execution unit and a resource adaptation unit, and the service execution unit completes the parsing of the authenticated resource request initiated from the application, and then forwards the resource request to the resource adaptation. Unit; the resource adaptation unit mainly completes the adaptation of the request message, protocol and media format, The resource request is then forwarded to the corresponding resource; after the resource execution is completed, the result is returned to the application through the resource adaptation unit and the service execution unit respectively. The application's business logic may contain multiple resources to be executed, and the application completes the call to the resources according to the business logic through the service platform. The service platform provides a standardized resource invocation interface for various applications, and interacts with various resources in multiple domains to open them to upper-layer applications.

The basic process of using the resource by the service platform is as follows: The application sends a request to the service execution unit in the service platform according to the service logic, and the service execution unit adjusts, authenticates, and parses the request to the resource adaptation unit in the service platform. After forwarding the request for the resource, the resource adaptation unit sends a request message to the corresponding resource after the protocol and the message are adapted, and the resource returns the result to the application through the service platform after the execution. Specifically, the process is as shown in FIG. 2, and includes the following steps.

Step 2.1 The application sends a resource request to the service platform.

Step 2.2 After receiving the authenticated resource request, the service execution unit selects an appropriate resource and forwards the resource request to the resource adaptation unit.

Step 2.3 The resource adaptation unit sends a request for the resource to the corresponding resource after being adapted by the message and the protocol.

Step 2.4 Successfully invoke or execute the resource after receiving the request.

Steps 2.5~2.7 The results of resource invocation or execution are returned to the application through the resource adaptation unit and the business execution unit respectively.

The above is a call to the resource by the application. The application business logic generally contains multiple resources. When the business logic is executed, the above steps 2.1 2.7 are repeated to complete the call to the resources in turn.

Steps 2.8 ~ 2.10 The application requests execution of new resources in the business logic through the service execution unit and the resource adaptation unit.

Step 2.11 The resource fails to execute due to its own unavailability or network reasons.

Step 2.12 2.14 The result of the resource call or execution failure is returned to the application through the resource adaptation unit and the service execution unit respectively.

As can be seen from the above, for some applications, there may be more complicated business logic. It may happen that after some services (that is, resources) are executed, the execution of the entire application fails because the subsequent execution of a certain service is unsuccessful. This is for the resources and business platforms that have been called. An invalid waste. This problem is especially acute for applications that are executed in batches.

It should be noted that the features in the embodiments and the embodiments of the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.

Example 1 The applicant of the present invention proposes that for complex business logic execution, the execution of the entire business logic can be terminated ahead of time in the event that a certain resource is unavailable in the business logic, thereby avoiding invalid use of resources; or replacing the available resources in advance. The resources used ensure the normal execution of the application and reduce the delay of application execution.

Based on the above idea, the embodiment provides a service logic execution apparatus, which can avoid waste of resources caused by partial service execution failure when executing business logic. As shown in FIG. 3, the device includes a business logic analysis and processing function module and a resource status function module in addition to the existing service execution function modules.

The business logic parsing and processing function module is configured to: parse the business logic of the application that initiates the resource request, request the resource status function module to use the status information of the resource to be used by the application business logic, and process according to the acquired status information of the resource.

The resource status function module is configured to: collect and store status information of the resource, and parse and return status information of the resource to the processing function module according to the received request. The status information of the above resources includes information such as resource availability, resource QoS, and resource performance. The service logic parsing and processing function module is configured to perform corresponding processing according to the acquired state information of the resource: when the resource to be used by the application business logic is a specific resource, according to the status of the received resource The information, if it is determined that at least one or more specific resources of the resources to be used by the business logic are unavailable, stopping execution of the business logic, and returning a message of execution failure to the application; the service logic parsing and processing function module is further configured to : According to the status information of the received resource, if it is determined that all the specific resources in the resource to be used by the business logic are available, the execution of the business logic is continued.

The service logic parsing and processing function module is configured to:

When the resource to be used by the application's business logic includes the encapsulated universal resource, according to the status information of the received resource, if it is determined that all the specific resources of the universal resource are unavailable, the execution of the business logic is stopped, and the execution failure is returned to the application. The service logic parsing and processing function module is further configured to: according to the status information of the received resource, if it is determined that at least one or more specific resources of the universal resource to be used by the service logic are available, and the service logic uses The other specific resources outside the general resources are available, and the normal business logic is executed. Specifically, the service logic execution process of the foregoing service logic execution apparatus is as shown in FIG. 4, and includes the following steps. Step 4.1 The application sends a resource request to the service platform (that is, the above-mentioned business logic execution device). In the above steps, the application sends a resource request carrying the service logic to the service execution function module in the service logic execution device.

Step 4.2 The service execution function module obtains the business logic of the application from the received resource request.

Step 4.3 The service execution function module sends the acquired business logic to the business logic analysis and processing function module.

Step 4.4 The business logic parsing and processing function module parses the business logic, obtains the resources to be used by the application's business logic, and requests the resource status function module for the status information of the resources.

Step 4.5 The Resource Status function module returns the real-time status information of these resources to the business logic parsing and processing function module, for example, the availability of resources.

Steps 4.6a to 4.7a In this embodiment, the resources to be used by the service logic are specific resources, and when at least one of the resources to be used by the service logic is determined to be unavailable according to the obtained availability information of the resources, the service is stopped. The execution of the logic returns a message of execution failure to the application through the service execution function module, and the process ends; if not, step 4.6b is performed.

Step 4.6b: When determining that all resources to be used by the business logic are available according to the obtained availability information of the resource, the business logic parsing and processing function module notifies the service execution function module to perform normal business logic execution.

Step 4.7b The service execution function module forwards the resource request to the resource adaptation unit.

Step 4.8 4.13 After the resource is triggered and executed, the result is returned to the application through the resource adaptation unit and the service execution unit.

As shown in FIG. 5, another flow chart is executed by the service logic according to the embodiment of the present invention. The steps are as follows.

Step 5.1 The application sends a resource request to the service platform (that is, the above-mentioned business logic execution device). In this step, the application sends a resource request carrying the business logic to the service logic executing device. The business execution function module in the middle.

Step 5.2 The service execution function module obtains the business logic of the application from the received resource request carrying the business logic.

Step 5.3 The business execution function module sends the acquired business logic to the business logic analysis and processing function module.

Step 5.4 The business logic parsing and processing function module parses the business logic, obtains the resources to be used by the application's business logic, and requests the resource status information from the resource status information function module.

Step 5.5 The resource status information function module returns real-time status information of these resources to the business logic parsing and processing function module, for example, resource availability, resource QoS, and resource performance.

Step 5.6 In this embodiment, it is assumed that the resource to be used by the business logic includes the encapsulated universal resource, and the business logic parsing and processing function module checks the availability of all possible specific resources of the universal resource.

Steps 5.7a ~ 5.8a stop the execution of the business logic if all the specific resources of the universal resource are unavailable, and return the execution failure message to the application, and the process ends; if not, execute step 5.7b.

In step 5.7b, if the specific resources other than the universal resources used by the business logic are available, and the resources available in the specific resources of the universal resources are available, that is, if one of the universal resources to be used by the business logic or When a plurality of specific resources are available, the business logic parsing and processing function module saves the information of the available specific resources in the business logic, and notifies the service execution function module to perform normal business logic execution, so as to directly trigger the saved when the subsequent calling universal resources are invoked. The specific resources can be.

It should be noted here that when there are multiple specific resources available in the universal resource, the business logic analysis and processing function module can only save one specific resource available. When selecting which specific resource to save from a variety of available specific resources, it can be further considered in combination with the resource QoS and resource performance of the available specific resources. For example, from the various specific resources available, choose the specific resources that maintain the best resource QoS and resource performance.

Step 5.8b The service execution function module forwards the resource request to the resource adaptation unit. Steps 5.9~5.14 After the resource is triggered and executed, the result is returned to the application through the resource adaptation unit and the service execution unit.

In the above two processes, after receiving the resource request, the service execution unit first obtains the state information of the resource, and then determines how to proceed according to the real-time state information of the resources; another feasible solution is the resource execution request and the resource. The two steps of obtaining the status information are performed simultaneously. If the real-time status information of the resource is received and there are unavailable resources, the execution of the business logic is stopped and a failure response is returned to the application. If the resources are available, the execution of the business logic is continued. Said to save application execution time.

For the case where there is a judgment and execution path branch in the business logic, it may be necessary for the business logic parsing and processing function module to acquire the state information of the resource multiple times and process it.

The real-time status information of the above resources is obtained by connecting with various resources or by timing heartbeat messages.
