System name: dgee
Type: GNU

Description:
This project is the DotGNU Execution Environment, an addition to the current 
DotGNU development effort.  It has been developed in conjunction with several 
members of the DotGNU mailing list, and was proposed as a potential GNU 
savannah project by the list as it is now mature enough for colaberative 
development and real user use. Several other important DotGNU efforts require 
the DGEE (including the SEE, already an approved GNU project), and it is the 
first user facing application to use portable.net

Put simply, the DotGNU Execution Environment is the core architectural 
component that provides the functionality of accepting, validating and 
satisfying web service requests within 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 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 the working model for the development of 
the VRS/SEE 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.
