US Classification:

709206, 709219, 709229, 719310, 719332

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer program products that reduce buffer requirements in a messaging system so that the messaging system can send or receive relatively larger messages using a given buffer size. Message handlers are provided, each identifying a corresponding processing operation to perform on a message object having a streamed portion with a stream oriented interface. Pipelines comprising ordered collections of the message handlers are provided as well. The message object is processed by the message handlers in the message pipelines, such that at least one message handler encapsulates the streamed portion of the message object with its corresponding processing operation. The corresponding processing operation is to be performed at a future time, and encapsulates the streamed portion of the message object without materializing the stream portion in a buffer. The messaging system may be an intermediary for routing a message object or an endpoint.

Abstract:

A server system in typical operation has a process manager, multiple listeners (each to receive requests for its protocols) and multiple worker processes that are each able to handle requests in multiple protocols. At server start-up, each listener connects with the process manager via a pipe published by the process manager. The listener then receives information via the process manager that includes information defining the application(s) for which that listener is to “listen” and associating application(s) to application pool(s). When the listener receives a request for such an application, the listener starts a queue for the associated application pool. The listener may use a hierarchical matching scheme to determine the associated application or application pool from the requested application. The process manager launches an appropriate worker process to handle requests in the listener's protocol. The worker process then makes a connection with the listener.

Abstract:

A server system has a process manager, listeners and worker processes in which the listeners connect to worker processes. At server start-up, each listener connects with the process manager via a pipe published by the process manager. The process manager then provides information to each listener associating applications to application pools, and applications for which the listener is to “listen”. When the listener receives a request for which it is to listen, the listener starts a queue for the application or associated application pool. The process manager launches an appropriate worker process to handle requests in the listener's protocol. The worker process then makes a connection with the listener.

Abstract:

A server system in typical operation has a process manager, multiple listeners (each to receive requests for its protocols) and multiple worker processes that are each able to handle requests in multiple protocols. At server start-up, each listener connects with the process manager via a pipe published by the process manager. The listener then receives information via the process manager that includes information defining the applications(s) for which that listener is to “listen” and associating selected application(s) to application pool(s). When the listener detects a request for such an application, the listener starts a queue for the associated application pool. In response, the process manager launches an appropriate worker process to handle requests in the listener's protocol. The worker process then makes a connection with the listener.

Abstract:

A sending computer system can identify one or more available network resources at one or more network computers by sending a request for services using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) over User Datagram Protocol (UDP). In particular, the sending computer system prepares a SOAP message that includes a request for available resources. The sending computer system then encapsulates the SOAP message into a user datagram, and sends the user datagram to one or more identifiable computer systems on the network. In one implementation, the sending computer system sends the user datagram to a multi-cast Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The receiving computer system receives the message through UDP, unpacks the message, and responds to the SOAP message request. Accordingly, the sending computer system can query multiple computer systems in an efficient manner without necessarily incurring the overhead otherwise associated with connection-oriented communication.

US Classification:

715771, 715840, 715841

Abstract:

A system and method for browsing properties of an electronic document. The present invention is comprised of a property browser program module. The property browser program module communicates with a shared code library for one or more application programs. The shared code library can be in communication with one or more application programs. When a user interacts with an electronic document associated with an application program, the user can manipulate one or more properties of the application program. The property browser program module determines a status for one or more properties for the electronic document through information received from the shared code library. Furthermore, the property browser program module determines a context for the electronic document through information received from the shared code library. Using the properties and context of the electronic document, the property browser program module creates a palette with one or more controls for the properties of the electronic document. The property browser program module then displays the palette in conjunction with the electronic document through the user interface associated with the application program.

Abstract:

A web services namespace pertains to an infrastructure for enabling creation of a wide variety of applications. The infrastructure provides a foundation for building message-based applications of various scale and complexity. The infrastructure or framework provides APIs for basic messaging, secure messaging, reliable messaging and transacted messaging. In some embodiments, the associated APIs are factored into a hierarchy of namespaces in a manner that balances utility, usability, extensibility and versionability.

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein provide a user with the ability to vary the encoding of a message object rather than being bound to a specific one, e. g. , the text encoding for SOAP messaging. Accordingly, a message encoding factory is provided that is responsible for mapping a message object (e. g. , SOAP Infoset) into raw octets suitable for wire transmission. By encapsulating the notion of a message encoder factory abstractly, embodiments allow users to vary the encoding of an Infoset without varying the programming model (or any other aspect of the system that uses message). In other words, embodiments herein separate the transport (e. g. , TCP, HTTP, etc. ) from the encoding, which allows users to use any number of encoding mechanisms—even their own proprietary ones.
