Building Desktop Applications with Web Services in a Message-based MVC Paradigm

Over the past decade, classic client side applications with Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture haven't changed much but become more complex. In this paper, we present an approach of building desktop applications with Web Services in an explicit message-based MVC paradigm. By integrating with our publish/subscribe messaging middleware, it makes SVG browser (a Microsoft PowerPoint like client application) with Web Service style interfaces universally accessible from different client platforms Windows, Linux, MacOS, PalmOS and other customized ones. Performance data suggests that this scheme of building application around messages is a practical architecture for the next generation Web application client. Keywords Message, MVC, Web service, SVG and publish/subscribe
