Hi ,

want to know whether I can use JPPF in :-
   An ecommerce application for small retailers and product suppliers. The application will be installed on the retailers' and the suppliers' side, and retailers and suppliers will have their-own product data. The retailers and suppliers will form a p2p network.

The application main function are:-
1. pre-select active nodes(suppliers/retailers) by some criteria from the p2p network . 
2. sumit search criteria to the selected nodes and get result from their local data
3. combine the individual search results into a total result by reducing the duplicated results

Thanks.

Hello,

The short answer is that you can do that with JPPF.
However, JPPF does not handle P2P architectures naturally, as for Map/Reduce types of grids. The JPPF architecture is in fact a master/worker one.

In terms of high-level design, here is how I would see your main function done:

• One JPPF server running somewhere in your infrastructure.
• A node is running on each retailer or supplier site, connected to the server
• for each selected node:
• send a job that can only execute on this node (see execution policy in our documentation, to achieve this)
• the job submits the search criteria and collects the results
• end for each
• the JPPF client (i.e. the job submitter) removes duplicates from the collected results

Does this make sense?

Sincerely,
-Laurent
