A data processing apparatus comprises a plurality of processors and message processing logic operable for establishing one of the processors as a master processor and all other processors as slave processors; receiving an application message from a particular message source among a plurality of message sources coupled to one or more network interfaces and the processors, wherein the application message comprises one or more data frames, packets and segments; granting exclusive control of the particular message source to a selected one of the slave processors; assigning an ordered sequence number to the application message; granting exclusive control, for a particular message destination among a plurality of message destinations coupled to the network interfaces and the processors, to the selected one of the slave processors; and providing the application message to the particular message destination.

A method of converting between a uniform resource locator and a dynamically compressed uniform resource locator involving parsing the components of the uniform resource locator, generating a token that uniquely identifies the combination of a path and a static query string parameter of the uniform resource locator, caching the token, the path, and the static query string parameter, and appending a dynamic query string parameter of the uniform resource locator to the token to form a compressed uniform resource locator.

Dynamic uniform resource locator compression

A method and system for storing and retrieving extensible multi-dimensional display property configurations. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed for the display of content that is configurable to a variety of contextual environments by reading a plurality of settings that are associated with an electronic device requesting content. The plurality of settings defines the contextual environment of the electronic device. The method continues by incorporating the plurality of settings as values in the list of filter criteria. The list of filter criteria is organized in a hierarchical order and specifies the format within which to present the content to be displayed at the electronic device. Thereafter, the method continues by matching the list of filter criteria with a resource to be displayed with the content. The resource is retrieved from memory for ultimate delivery to the electronic device for display.

Method and system for storing and retrieving extensible multi-dimensional display property configurations

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and mechanism for managing location information in a wireless portal environment. The method consists of acquiring the location information from a user's location-enabled wireless device which is in communication with a wireless network, storing the location information in a storage device in the wireless network, retrieving the location information from the storage device in the wireless network, and disseminating the location information to a client which is also in communication with the wireless network. A client can be any type of network presence that is enabled to provide services that are enhanced with knowledge of a user's physical location in a wireless portal environment. The location information can be geophysical information derived from global positioning system (GPS) or any other location-specific information from a suitable source.

Dynamic location storage and retrieval in a wireless portal server

In a wireless portal system having a wireless server, a client aware Extensible Markup Language (XML) content integration and transformation method and system. The client aware XML content integration and transformation system includes logic for identifying wireless client devices connecting to the wireless server by using particular characteristics of the client in presenting XML content formatted in response to connection requests from the client to the server. In one embodiment of the present invention, the client aware XML content transformation system receives an indication of a client type and uses this information to automatically search for XML content from a plurality of back-end resource servers on the Internet and transforms the content into a format suitable for delivery to the client. The means of formatting the XML content uses a style sheet such as an Extensible Style sheet Language (XSL) specific to the client type of the client requesting the XML content to transform the XML content into an appropriate markup to the client.
