A system has a repository that stores a plurality of events. Each event requests to utilize one or more functions in a component. An event sequencing module analyzes an event sequencing key of the event if the event requests a function having a component definition that includes an event sequence qualifier. The event sequencing module grants a lock to the event for the function if no other event having the same value for the event sequencing key has the lock for the function. The event sequencing module prevents the event from being processed if another event having the same value for the event sequencing key has the lock for the function. The event sequencing key is composed of one or more object attributes. The system has a worker server that receives the event, if the event obtains the lock, and processes the function requested by the event.

Method and system for non-intrusive event sequencing

A computer program product is disclosed. The computer program product includes a computer useable medium that has a computer readable program. The computer readable program when executive on a computer causes the computer to receive a request from a component to invoke a function. Further, the computer readable program, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to asynchronously perform the function according to the request. In addition, the computer readable program, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to provide, to one or more programs, an indication that the function has completed work according to the request.

Method and system for detecting work completion in loosely coupled components

A system and method for providing Quality-of-Service (QoS) functions to concurrent event-processing applications in a multi-processing database environment are described. The system includes an Event-Listener interface for determining the QoS functions applicable to the events being processed and an Event-Service interface for invoking the determined QoS functions. The Event-Service interface loads, initializes and activates the QoS functions. The QoS functions are based on service definitions. The Event-Service interface further initializes the service providers and sends the events that need QoS support to the respective service providers for processing. The QoS functions include the services commonly needed in a clustered event-processing database system like Event-Sequencing, Event-Isolation, High-Availability, Event-Filtering and Flow-Control. Other QoS functions might be added to the database system using the same interfaces provided by the invention.

System and method for providing Quality-of-Services in a multi-event processing environment

A computer program product is provided. The computer program product includes a computer useable medium having a computer readable program. The computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to generate a topology role in a topology role tier that is included in a topology pattern. Further, the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to create a component in a component tier that is defined in the topology pattern such that the component corresponds to the topology role. In addition, the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to map the topology role to a deployment target.

Method and system for topology modeling

A method, system, and computer program code for integrating components with different interfaces in an enterprise application integration environment. When an enterprise application is assembled, a user may try to wire a component to another component in the enterprise. However, if the reference on the source component does not match the interface on the target component, the components cannot be wired together. In this situation, the user is prompted to introduce an interface mediation component between the source and target application components. The mediation component comprises an interface matching the reference on the source component and a reference matching the interface on the target component. The mediation component mediates the different interfaces at runtime by binding an operation in the source component to an operation in the target component, and performing a parameter mediation of parameters in the first operation to parameters in the second operation.
