Schema information is provided with transmission of a data object. When a data object is converted to a transmission format, schema information for the object type is added to the transmission format element. The unmarshalling code uses the schema information to update a schema registry at the receiving end. The schema registry may then be used as a tool for converting the transmission format element back to the data element. The next time an object of that object type is sent to the recipient, the schema information is not added to the transmission format element.

A computer program product comprises a computer usable medium. The computer usable medium has a computer readable program such that when the computer readable medium is executed on a computer, the computer is caused to receive a request from a calling service. Further, the computer is caused to determine reply-to endpoint information from the request. The reply-to endpoint information indicates the calling service as a calling service response endpoint. In addition, the computer is caused to monitor functionality of the calling service. The computer is also caused to update the reply-to endpoint information to indicate an alternative calling service as the calling service response endpoint if the functionality of the calling service is impaired prior to availability of response data for composition of a response.

Method and system for providing preemptive response routing

A computer program product comprises a computer useable medium. The computer useable medium has a computer readable program such that when the computer readable medium is executed on a computer, the computer is caused to configure a calling interceptor at a service invocation point corresponding to a first component service of a software application to monitor a service invocation made by the first component service of a second component service of the software application, record a first set of correlation data represented by a first correlation indicator into a trace file, record a unique identifier into the trace file, and send the unique identifier to the second component service thought the service invocation.

A mechanism is provided for converting after image data into a delta level change. An after image business graph is first transformed into a generic after image business graph. Another transformation is performed transforming the generic after image business graph into a second after image business graph, using delta information from another enterprise information system is used to create a delta business graph. A final transformation is performed to convert the delta business graph into a generic delta business graph.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for updating multiple concurrent versions of shared artifact libraries. Shared artifact libraries are associated with a consuming application for establishing shared artifact libraries upon which the consuming application has a dependency for artifacts. A snapshot of the shared artifact libraries associated with the consuming application in an active session is created in response to starting a session. The shared artifact libraries are updated in response to new versions and updates of the shared artifact libraries becoming available. Artifacts are dispensed from the shared artifact libraries to the consuming application based on the snapshot of the session.

Support continuous availability by allowing the use of multiple concurrent versions of shared artifact libraries, with proper bind-drain semantics, for long-lived process application consumers

A system and computer usable code is provided for using a templated pattern to define part types on a web service definition language (WSDL) interface. Applying the templated pattern enables peer services to define a transparent contract between specific WSDL part types. The templated pattern is used to wrap the original business object with the enriched business graph schema. The templated business graph is created by extending the business graph complex type that is provided by the business object framework runtime and adding an element delegating to the original business object.

A system and method for remotely loading artifacts is disclosed. The system and method involves monitoring application installation events on a computing device. In response to detecting an application installation event, the application installation event is intercepted. The application associated with the application installation event is searched for artifacts, and any artifacts found within the application are stored in a centralized location. The artifacts are further indexed according to a target namespace. In one embodiment, the system and method further involved receiving a query from a client to locate an artifact, locating the artifact from previously extracted artifacts and returning the artifact as URL address.

System and method of remotely managing and loading artifacts

A system and method of remotely loading artifacts is disclosed. The method involves storing and indexing a plurality of artifacts in a centralized location. A query is received from a client to locate an artifact, and the artifact is located within the central location. A reply is then returned to the client, wherein the reply includes a location of the artifact. In one embodiment, the method of remotely loading artifacts further involves the artifacts being previously extracted from an application during the installation of the application.

When a data object is sent from one application to another, the marshaling code includes type information with transmission of the data object. When the data object is converted to the transmission format, type information for the data object is added to the transmission format element. The unmarshaling code uses the type information to obtain schema information for converting the transmission format element back to the data element.

A method in a data processing system for a generic symbol referencing mechanism. A reference to a symbol is received for resolution. The symbol is identified using a data structure. The data structure comprises a set of symbol space instances, each symbol space instance contains a set of name space registry instances, each name space registry instance contains a set of name space instances, each name space instance contains a set of name instances, each name instance corresponds to a referencable symbol instance, and the referencable symbol instance corresponds to the symbol.

A method for simplifying the development, testing and maintenance of code objects that may be used, for example, to generate custom web page content. According to the invention, a developer isolates a given task, generates code for the task, and then provides a means by which a page-generating Java servlet can access that code at request time. The code may be generated at any time, and the servlet preferably is generated at translation time, i.e. when a request for the page is first made at a server. In a preferred embodiment, the code for the task is supported within a given method of a Java tagbean.

Method for developing a custom tagbean

A method for serving a web page uses eXtensible Markup Language (XML) server pages. The first time a page is accessed, a given flat file is parsed into an XML Document Object Model (DOM), and required tag libraries are loaded. The DOM tree is then traversed, preferably in a depth-first, inside-out manner to locate custom tags. Upon locating a custom tag, if the tag is registered as a Java object, the object is loaded. A process method is then called on the object, passing the custom tag's tree node. The Java object then examines the custom tag and replaces it with an object, e.g., script code. Alternatively, if the tag is registered as an XSL stylesheet, the stylesheet is loaded and passed, together with the DOM, to an XSL processor. The processor applies the template to the custom tag and replaces it with given script code. Once all custom tags are reduced to HTML and script code, the DOM is compiled into a Java servlet to service the client request.
