关于中间件(MiddleWare)

Middleware, is a layer of software between the network and the applications. This software provides services such as identification, authentication, authorization, directories, and security. In today's Internet, applications usually have to provide these services themselves, which leads to competing and incompatible standards. By promoting standardization and interoperability, middleware will make advanced network applications much easier to use.

中间件是在应用程序和网络之间的一层软件。这种软件提供了例如鉴定、授权、目录和安全等的服务。今天的Internet应用程序经常需要提供自己提供这些服务，这就导致了竞争和不一致的标准。在促进标准化和相互之间的协作方面，中间件将会使得网络应用程序更容易使用。
