Inter-application communication method, client side and application process manager of online application platform

Abstract

The invention provides an inter-application communication method of an online application platform. The inter-application communication method comprises the following steps: a client side of the online application platform starts an application and creates an application process according to a predetermined communication protocol; the processable message type of the application is recorded; when inter-application communication is carried out, a message from a sender application is received and delivered into a message queue of one application process corresponding to a receiver application; the application process corresponding to the receiver application monitors and processes the message in the message queue; and when the sender application or the receiver application quits, the application process is destroyed. The invention also provides a client side of the online application platform and an application process manager of the online application platform, wherein the client side comprises multiple applications and an application process manager; and the application process manager of the online application platform comprises a process creating interface, a process message sending interface and a process destroying interface. The introduced user participation and authorization procedures due to a safety factor in information transmission are avoided fundamentally.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of online application platforms, in particular to an application communication method of the online application platform, a client terminal and an application process manager of the online application platform. Background technique [0002] Traditional IPC (Inter-Process Communication, inter-process communication) methods include pipes, message queues, semaphores, shared memory, etc. These inter-process communication technologies usually target communication between application processes within a single computer resource. However, the application services of the online application platform are distributed in computer centers or computer rooms with independent geographical locations. Therefore, the IPC communication technology of the traditional operating system is only applicable to the process communication within a single operating system, but not between various applications on the online application platform.

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Since the inter-application communication process of the online application platform is transmitted over the network, the security of communication data needs to be considered. The above two technologies rely on point-to-point communication between application servers. In order to ensure the security of communication, the communication parties must negotiate some Communication protocols, and protocols vary widely between different application providers, and the same application needs to negotiate communication protocols multiple times to apply to different scenarios

In addition, Option 1 is only suitable for interdependent service providers. It is not universal and does not conform to the open principle of cloud computing. Therefore, it mainly exists in the internal systems of enterprises.

Solution 2 requires users to participate multiple times in the process of inter-application communication, and the user experience is extremely poor. It is almost unusable for some application scenarios with frequent access
