Gawati Data Server

Gawati Data Server is the document repository for Gawati documents.

It provides REST services to provide access to the data from other applications, the principal application being the Portal.

The document repository can reside on the same app-server installation as the Portal, or on a different application server or an entirely different physical server.

The only interface provided to read and write data to the document repository is as REST services.

The diagram below expresses this –

This allows having multiple consumers and producers of documents independent of the Portal.

The Gawati portal is also a native eXist application, but we don’t connect to the data natively to keep our system flexible. That way we can deploy the data independent of the portal or any other application, and we can do things like failover for just the data server component.
