Research on JXTA Architecture Based on Mobile Agent

The lack of developing platforms and the incompatibilities of protocols result in difficulties in rapidly developing P2P applications, and JXTA proposed by SUN corporation is an opensource platform to solve these problems, but it still needs to be improved. The characteristics between JXTA and mobile agent are analyzed in this paper. A novel JXTA architecture based on mobile agent is proposed. A new resource expressing method referring to the Dublin Core metadata method and the corresponding message format are designed, and a resource searching algorithm is designed. At last a prototype system is implemented to verify the validity of the forenamed designs.
