The YAZ Proxy is highly configurable and can be used in a number of different
|
|
applications, ranging from debugging Z39.50-based applications and protecting
|
|
overworked servers, to improving the performance of stateless WWW/Z39.50
|
|
gateways. Among other features, it includes:
|
|
|
|
* SRW/SRU server function, to allow any Z39.50 server to also
|
|
support the ZiNG protocols
|
|
* Load balancing across multiple backend servers
|
|
* Session-sharing and pre-initialization to improve performance in
|
|
servers with expensive session initialization
|
|
* Configurable request filtering, to keep bad requests from reaching
|
|
the server
|
|
* XML support -- MARC records can be converted to MARCXML, and
|
|
XSLT-transformations allow the proxy to support arbitrary
|
|
retrieval schemas in XML
|
|
* Load governor function limits requests from aggressive batch-mode clients
|
|
* Configurable logging
|
|
* Efficient multiplexing software enables small memory footprint and
|
|
very high performance
