A method can include receiving a read request from a client program. The method can further include obtaining, in response to receiving the read request, one or more secrets from a secrets store. The obtaining can include storing the one or more secrets in a storage location. The method can further include initiating, in response to the read request, a transmission of the one or more secrets to the client program. The method can further include deleting the one or more secrets from the storage location.

Management of computing secrets

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for distributing services to client systems to develop in a shared development environment. A first service is deployed to the first client system to develop the first service. A second service is deployed to the second client system to develop the second service. A call is received from the first service, executing in the first client system as part of development of the first service, to the second service. A determination is made as to whether the second service is deployed at the second client system and available in response to the call from the first service. A response is generated to the call to the second service from a component in the shared development environment in response to determining that the second service is deployed at the second client system and not available.

Distributing services to client systems to develop in a shared development environment

Receiving from each of a plurality of low level monitor models an outbound event comprising information associated with a respective data source. The information received in each of the outbound events can be collected to a global monitoring context in which the information is automatically aggregated. Via a global cube associated with the global monitoring context, the information can be presented in a report. At least one new outbound event can be received. The new outbound event can include updated information associated with at least one of the data sources. Responsive to receiving the new outbound event, the information presented the report can be updated in real time to reflect the updated information.

Presenting information from heterogeneous and distributed data sources with real time updates

A method, system and computer program product for achieving a balance between pre-filter efficiency and pre-filter throughput. Event subscriptions are obtained for a given event consumer. The event subscriptions define the events to be routed to this event consumer. Pre-filters of varying complexity and filtering power are constructed based on these event subscriptions. A balance between pre-filter efficiency and pre-filter throughput may be achieved by selecting the best pre-filter out of these constructed pre-filters to filter events to its associated event consumer. The best pre-filter is selected by comparing a complexity threshold (e.g., a limit for the number of atomic Boolean expressions in a pre-filter) with the actual complexity (e.g., the actual number of atomic Boolean expressions) for each constructed pre-filter and selecting the most complex pre-filter without exceeding the threshold.

Generation of a set of pre-filters from a set of event subscriptions to more efficiently select events of interest

An apparatus, system, and storage medium that in an embodiment receive a key parameter from a container-managed persistent bean, determine that the container-managed persistent bean is associated with a non-relational data store, creating a web service input message with the key parameter, and invoke a web service function with the web service input message to interface with a non-relational data store. The determination that the container-managed persistent bean is associated with a non-relational data store may be based on deployment description extension settings specified by a bean assembler. In this way, a container-managed persistent bean may be used to access a non-relational data store.

A method in a data processing system for attaching an informational dialog to a program. The program is morphed to extend an existing interface to the program to become a dippable program. A dip is created, wherein the dip modifies runtime behavior of the existing interface of the dippable program to include an informational dialog. The dip is added to the dippable program, wherein the informational dialog is attached to the dippable program. The dialog is displayed just before the dippable program is displayed.

The invention which meets the needs of an object-oriented structured query language (OOSQL) support for enterprise Java beans is an apparatus and method for automatic generation of a portable, OOSQL query in terms of a bean's attributes and methods at the time of development. The method accomplishes its purpose by bridging between CORBA EJB, by executing an object-oriented query on an application server that returns data objects responsive to the query; adding each object returned by the server to a Java Vector object, converting the Java Vector object to a Java Enumeration; and narrowing the Java Enumeration to the EJB objects having attributes that that meet the conditions of the query.

A method and apparatus in a computer for creating a framework for a dip. Settings are displayed for the dip in a graphical user interface. Entries for each setting are received for the dip through the graphical user interface, wherein the overall policies of the dip are formed. A source code for the dip is generated using the selected settings, wherein the source code forms the framework for the dip.

Method and apparatus for generating dips for use with Java beans

A method and apparatus in a data processing system for analyzing an object. The object is morphed, wherein the program becomes a dippable object. A dip is created for the dippable object, wherein the dip identifies time spent executing method calls, event firings, and property changes in the object. The dip is added to the dippable object, wherein the dippable object may be analyzed.

A method and apparatus in a distributed data processing system for managing application modification in a distributed data processing system. The first portion of an application is morphed, wherein the first portion of the application becomes a dippable application. The first portion of an application containing business rules is placed on a server within the distributed data processing system, wherein the application is accessed by a client. A second portion of the application is placed on a client, wherein the second portion of the application provides access to the first portion of the application. A rule change is identified for the dippable application. A dip is created for the dippable application, wherein the dip incorporates the rule change. The dip is added to the dippable application, wherein the rule change is incorporated into the dippable application without requiring a change to the second portion of the application located on the client.

Method and apparatus for enabling server side distributed object modification

Print support may be added to a software component forming part of an existing application by checking the component to determine if it belongs to a class for which print support was originally available. The component may belong to a class having print support available but fail to specifically address print support in its coded methods, or it may belong to a class for which print support was not intrinsically available. If the component belongs to the requisite class, print support may be wired in by simple adding a 'dip' component to the subject components' notification methods. The 'dip' component provides the necessary dialogs and interfaces to the available print support. If the component is not dippable, or capable of keeping track of dip components, it may be morphed into a dippable component by instantiating a subclass component having the same properties, events, and methods as the undippable component as well as code for keeping track of a dip component.

Utility for providing printing support to graphical Java applications
