A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing two-way web service interaction crossing different enterprise domains is presented. A web service gateway provides data tunnels for directing web service requests and responses between a first endpoint, a second endpoint and the web service gateway, wherein the first endpoint is located in a different enterprise network than said second endpoint. A Service Local Registry is maintained at the gateway, the Service Local Registry exposing Web Service Description Language (WSDL) interfaces of the first endpoint and the second endpoint.

Two-way web service router gateway

A communication system processing element comprises a processor coupled to a memory and implements an endpoint of the system. The endpoint includes a session initiation protocol (SIP) component and a web services component. The SIP component is configured for communication via SIP signaling with one or more other endpoints of the system. The web services component is configured for interfacing the SIP component to one or more communication service applications of the system.

Web services and session initiation protocol endpoint for converged communication over internet protocol networks

A system for enabling communication between a first domain and a second domain is disclosed. At least the first domain is protected by a firewall. A first data-processing system is provided in the first domain and a second data-processing system provided in second domain. The second domain hosts an application that the first domain desires to access. To enable the communication between the two domains a tunnel is established through the firewall. The tunnel runs from the first data-processing system to the second data-processing system. The second data-processing system provides a web-proxy interface to interface to the application and also acts as a tunnel gateway.

Framework for communicating across a firewall

High availability (HA) protection is provided for an executing virtual machine. At a checkpoint in the HA process, the active server suspends the virtual machine; and the active server copies dirty memory pages to a buffer. During the suspension of the virtual machine on the active host server, dirty memory pages are copied to a ring buffer. A copy process copies the dirty pages to a first location in the buffer. At a predetermined benchmark or threshold, a transmission process can begin. The transmission process can read data out of the buffer at a second location to send to the standby host. Both the copy and transmission processes can operate asynchronously on the ring buffer. The ring buffer cannot overflow because the transmission process continues to empty the ring buffer as the copy process continues. This arrangement allows for using smaller buffers and prevents buffer overflows, and thereby, it reduces the VM suspension time and improves the system efficiency.

A web services enablement system includes a computer adapted to send and receive information to and from a first service, to send and receive information to and from a second service, which may not be a web service, to manage a connection with a third, stateful, service and to send and receive information via the stateful service based on information received from the first service or the second service. Also a method of enabling two-way web services and stateful transactions that includes steps of providing an architecture of base services and meta-services, defining a first base service comprising a core component and an extension component, combining the first base service and a meta-service to create a first usable service, managing a relationship between the first usable service and a second service through dependency or binding or utility, and performing a stateful transaction using the first usable service.

Apparatus and method for stateful web services enablement

High availability (HA) protection is provided for an executing virtual machine. At a checkpoint in the HA process, the active server suspends the virtual machine; and the active server copies dirty memory pages to a buffer. During the suspension of the virtual machine on the active host server, dirty memory pages are copied to a ring buffer. A copy process copies the dirty pages to a first location in the buffer. At a predetermined benchmark or threshold, a transmission process can begin. The transmission process can read data out of the buffer at a second location to send to the standby host. Both the copy and transmission processes can operate substantially simultaneously on the ring buffer. As such, the ring buffer cannot overflow because the transmission process continues to empty the ring buffer as the copy process continues. This arrangement allows for smaller buffers and prevents buffer overflows.

Methods and apparatus for providing converged communication services in a communication system are disclosed. A first endpoint of the system communicates with at least a second endpoint of the system via session initiation protocol (SIP). At least a portion of the SIP communication is controlled utilizing an application layer overlay framework which permits substantially simultaneous operation of the first endpoint in two application layer protocols, the two application layer protocols including SIP and web services protocol. The web services protocol may illustratively comprise an application layer web services transport protocol such as SOAP/HTTP. The application overlay framework comprises a web services interface, with the web services interface being configured to permit access to information associated with the SIP communication by one or more communication service applications of the system.

A method and apparatus are provided for the secure delivery of converged services to users of wireless devices in a wireless environment. An application layer broker is position between the user devices and the application server to provide an indirect coupling between the enterprise application server and the wireless user devices. The application layer broker links the wireless environment to the enterprise application server through an event triggered content delivery mechanism without providing a direct link between the wireless user device and the enterprise application server. Delivered content can only be accessed by the intended user and the authorized device. The application layer broker provides adaptation to various user devices and the various capabilities associated with each user device. Wireless devices can be upgraded independently from upgrades to the application server. The decoupling performed by the application layer broker separates the service control, such as user registration from the service delivery.
