Naming in Computer Systems

This document discusses naming in computer systems and provides examples. It examines how names are used to connect modules together and identifies key aspects of understanding a naming system, including the syntax of names, possible name values, name resolution algorithms, and where the lookup context comes from. Code examples are given that show using naming to look up and invoke a remote bidding interface on an eBay server.

L4: Naming in computer systems

Example from last lecture


public interface BidInterface extends Remote { public String bid(String, Integer) throws RemoteException; } public static void main (String[] argv) { try { BidInterface srvr = (BidInterface) Naming.lookup(//xxx.ebay.com/Bid); winning = srvr.bid(123, 10); System.out.println(winning); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("BidClient exception: " + e); } }

Summary

Names are pervasive in computer systems, used to connect modules together To understand a naming system, think about:

What's the syntax for names? What are the values? What is the name resolution algorithm? Where does the lookup context come from?
