Abstract

A computer-based method for filtering XML files is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: configuring XQuery scripts of each of the tasks and a scheduled time to perform each of the tasks, and storing the XQuery scripts in a database; scheduling the tasks in a scheduling server; sending a task request by the scheduling server to a processing server when it is time to perform the task; invoking the XQuery scripts of each of the tasks from the database when the processing server receives the task request; processing each of the XML files, and obtaining a XQuery result; merging the XQuery result of the XQuery scripts of each of the tasks, and storing a merged result of each of the tasks in the database. A related system is also disclosed.

Claims

1. A system for filtering XML files, the system comprising a task control computer, a scheduling server, a processing server, and a database, the database storing XQuery scripts of each of the tasks, the task control computer comprising:

a task setting module configured for configuring the XQuery scripts of each of the tasks and a scheduled time to perform each of the tasks, and storing the XQuery scripts in the database; and

a scheduling module configured for scheduling the tasks in the scheduling server;

the scheduling server comprising;

a sending module configured for sending a task request to the processing server when it is time to perform the task; and

the processing server comprising;

a script invoking module configured for invoking the XQuery scripts of each of the tasks from the database when the task request is received;

a file filtering module configured for processing each of the XML files, and obtaining an XQuery result; and

a merging module configured for merging the XQuery result of the XQuery scripts of each of the tasks, and storing a merged result of each of the tasks in the database.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the scheduled time of each of the tasks is the same.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein the processing is filtering.

4. A computer-based method for filtering XML files, the method comprising the steps of:

configuring XQuery scripts of each of the tasks and a scheduled time to perform each of the tasks, and storing the XQuery scripts in a database;

scheduling the tasks in a scheduling server;

sending a task request by the scheduling server to a processing server when it is time to perform the task;

invoking the XQuery scripts of each of the tasks from the database when the processing server receives the task request;

processing each of the XML files, and obtaining an XQuery result; and

merging the XQuery result of the XQuery scripts of each of the tasks, and storing a merged result of each of the tasks in the database.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein each of the tasks has the same scheduled time.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the processing is filtering.
