Only one guest has joined a chat, and that guest’s nickname and age are stored in a guest element also as a child of the actors element. Adam is the host of a topic with the subject Vehicles.Trucks.Other and the topic “my other truck is a ferrari.” Adam is still awaiting his first guest, and only his own single message appears in the chat. It could be displayed as follows: [Saturday 05 09:08:09 2000] adam::this is dynamite! Charlie is the host of a chat with the subject Animals.Fish.Piranhas and the topic “pet piranha stories.” Charlie and his guest,Wally, have each entered one message to the chat, which could be displayed as follows: [Saturday 05 09:19:02 2000] charlie::Is anybody there? [Saturday 05 10:09:35 2000] wally::I’m here, charlie. 11.13 More ForestHashtable Considerations In this last part of this chapter, we will mention a few final things that are important to the understanding and future development of the ForestHashtable class. 11.13.1 Some Important Data Characteristics In the example of bonForum XML data content at runtime shown previously, you can notice the following two characteristics of the way the chat data is kept in the ForestHashtable : 11 1089-9 CH11 6/26/01 7:36 AM Page 432 Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. 433 11.13 More ForestHashtable Considerations 1. The objects stored in a Hashtable have no order.Therefore, the order of sibling elements in the XML document has no meaning. For human readability, if that is needed, some XML elements could be sorted by modifying the XSLT style sheet. Sorting could also be implemented by changing the underlying data struc- ture to a SortedMap implementer, such as TreeMap , or by keeping an external sorted index in the manner of an RDB. 2. The NodeKey values are referred to by other key attributes, to relate the informa- tion in different elements together. For example, a chat element has a hostKey child that contains the value of the chat’s host’s NodeKey .That is why we pre- serve the NodeKey values in NodeKey ” attributes within each element when the XML is output from the ForestHashtable . 11.13.2 Setting ForestHashtable Capacity By reading the API documentation on the java.util.Hashtable class, you can learn about the issue of the capacity of a Hashtable object.The only way we have dealt with this so far is to provide a constructor for the class that takes an argument called capacity , which (surprise!) sets the capacity of a ForestHashtable . The idea is that this capacity setting can be determined by the Web application, perhaps by having it saved as a parameter in the Web app deployment descriptor (web.xml) of the application. For the bonForum Web chat application example, we set the capacity to 5000.This number was selected by estimating 200 bytes per node. More testing is necessary to tune this factor, which is very important for the experi- ence of using the Web application. Setting the capacity correctly can minimize the inevitable rehashing time. 11.13.3 XPATH Modeling Planned One premise behind the design of ForestHashtable is that is could be easier or faster to manipulate a triple-valued key than to work with the (infinitely) long path expres- sions that can be present in an XML data document.The hierarchy of nodes can be modeled as a forest of trees by a table with a double- or triple-valued key. A plan for the future is to see if we can create methods that fulfill all the XPATH functionality solely by processing the keys in the table. 11.13.4 Self-Healing XML Documents Another idea of ours is to create an XML document representation that would create, by default, any “missing” set of nodes.These nodes that would be supplied form a node path connection between a “disconnected” XML fragment and the “closest” existing related node. Why do that? Because that means you can put a tree-fragment into empty space in the forest.Then you could either tell or ask the forest to “decide” which tree the frag- 11 1089-9 CH11 6/26/01 7:36 AM Page 433 Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. 434 Chapter 11 XML Data Storage Class: ForestHashtable ment belongs in.This would cause the forest to “grow” any necessary branches to con- nect the fragment with the tree, thus creating one new tree that can be expressed as a valid XML document. Two practical outcomes appear here. First, if the keys for the forest are globally unique identifiers, you can throw together two or more forests of data, and they will still function as a forest (that is, the keys will not clash).That would be great for mix- ing data from laptops and servers, for example. Second, the self-sticking tree fragment addition to the forest means that relations among combined data sets can be “patched” by using default values, which preserves displayability and processability, in many cases. It might even keep your browser from choking! 11.13.5 Improvement of Algorithms Much of the code in this class, as in the bonForum project in general, is intentionally written in a “dumb” style, leaving much room for optimization. Rather than trying to get too smart and doing many things in one statement, we think that it is easier to debug code that is spread out over smaller steps. Our motto is, “First get it working, and then get it working right!” moveNode() Further optimization will include addition of new methods. One candidate, for exam- ple, is a moveNode() method that would have the following signature: moveNode(NodeKey KeyOfNodeToMove, NodeKey KeyOfNewParentNode, Boolean IfLeafOnly); The moveNode() method would also have a leafOnly argument, as the deleteNode() method does. If IfLeafOnly is true , then the node would not be moved if it has one or more child nodes. If IfLeafOnly is false , then the node and all its descendants would be moved. Another argument called NewParentNode would tell the method the destination to which it should move a node. If the NewParentNode is null, then the NodeToMove would be made a root node in the forest. 11.13.6 Enforcing Uniqueness Among Nodes In the addNode() method of ForestHashtable , uniqueness is enforced for nodeNameHashtable entries.When we remove an “old” cached NodeKey from the nodeNameHashtable , we cannot simultaneously remove the node in the ForestHashtable because it may be in use in other thread. However, we need to enforce unique sibling names in some situations—for exam- ple within descendant levels of the Subjects subtree in the bonForum Web chat appli- cation XML data. Also, at least in that application of the ForestHashtable , we would like to somehow enforce unique chatTopic values and nickName values by using a mechanism intrinsic to the ForestHashtable .This is left as a task for a future time. 11 1089-9 CH11 6/26/01 7:36 AM Page 434 Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. 435 11.13 More ForestHashtable Considerations 11.13.7 Usability of the ForestHashtable Class Without having tested the ForestHashtable experimental class sufficiently, it is not yet possible to characterize its runtime performance versus the quantity of data and thread loading. Certainly, processing will slow down at some point, but that depends on many factors, including the hardware on which it is running. ForestHashtable Is a Design Laboratory The ForestHashtable class is primarily a design laboratory.We will be implementing some of the ideas tried out there in a relational database system.You are invited to bring your comments and participation to http://www.bonforum.org , our open source site for the bonForum project on SourceForge. 11 1089-9 CH11 6/26/01 7:36 AM Page 435 Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. 11 1089-9 CH11 6/26/01 7:36 AM Page 436 Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark.
