ACCESSING OBJECTS IN A SERVICE REGISTRY AND REPOSITORY

摘要

This invention relates to a service registry and repository system, method and computer program product for accessing objects in an object repository. A method of managing an object database for objects comprising: receiving a database XPATH query; translating the database path query into an object query; and querying the object database using the object query. The translating comprises: breaking the path query into nodes; examining each node to identify objects for selection and objects from which selection is made; consolidating objects for selection from each node; consolidating objects from which selection is made; and forming the object query from a SELECT clause made up of the consolidated objects for selection from each node and from a FROM clause made up of the consolidated objects from which selection is made.
