Given a SIP call flow definition and WSDL extended with SIP/call flow interactions, a converged application integration (CAI) engine provides service-oriented application practitioners with an ability to reuse existing Web services integration techniques in a new converged application integration green space. The converged application integration engine 'wraps' a pre-existing converged Web service/SIP or a SIP-only application, listens to application-specific signaling, and based on a supplied WSDL with SIP/call flow extensions, makes and accepts interaction requests using Web services. Given a SIP call flow definition, a WSDL extended with SIP/call flow interactions, and the converged application integration engine, a converged application execution (CAE) engine that greatly eases developing new converged applications. At runtime, the CAE engine 'stitches' the signaling onto the decomposed servlet model by following the WSDL extended with SIP/call flow interactions. At appropriate binding points, the CAE engine invokes the listener callback interfaces.

The present invention discloses a solution for modifying a group list server to perform syndication feed operations. A syndication feed creation software component, a content gathering component, and a content extraction converting component can be added to a group list server. The modified group list server can continue to function as a traditional list server and can also function as a traditional feed server that is able to interoperate with standard, client-side feed readers. In one embodiment, the modified list server can repurpose syndication groups as to operate as syndication feed channels and can repurpose group members to operate as feed items.

Using a group list server as a syndication feed server

A cache server receives a request from a client that includes a requesting entity tag. In turn, the cache server extracts a starting identifier and an ending identifier from the requesting entity tag. The starting identifier is associated with a starting entry and the ending identifier is associated with an ending entry. Next, the cache server determines whether a subsequent entity tag exists that includes a subsequent starting identifier that matches the requesting entity tag's ending identifier. When the cache server identifies a subsequent entity tag, the cache server sends the subsequent entity tag and one or more update entries corresponding to the subsequent entity tag to the client.

Synchronizing network feeds in high-frequency network events

An interface design tool may include a traditional call flow design view and a traditional WSDL interface design view. The call flow design view may allow for the grouping of the call flow into segments or exchanges, and allow for labeling of each message in the segment. The tooling then allows for the creation of a mapping between WSDL operations and the call flow. The mapping may be labeled with the interaction type. The output of the visual artifacts may then be a WSDL and call flow XML document, where the additional bindings are included for the operations that capture the interaction relationships.

Converged call flow modeling and converged web service interface design

A messaging service communicates with a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) application session by registering the SIP application session with a messaging server, and then publishing an addressable messaging endpoint corresponding to the SIP application session in response to registering the SIP 15 application session with the messaging server. Consequently, communication with the SIP application session can occur via messages directed to the published addressable messaging endpoint.

A method for generating documents having stored electrostatic pattern information provides security with respect to the authenticity of documents. A liquid medium including a plurality of electrostatic monopoles is applied to the surface of a document, which embeds a permanent electrostatic pattern in the document. The pattern is then readable by an electrostatic scanner. The monopoles may be associated with differing colors, including black and white, may be transparent or have a neutral color. The patterns may embed data, certificates or shapes. The monopoles may provide a watermark or visible image. The apparatus may be a pen or printer, and may include multiple selectable vessels containing ink and/or electrostatic liquid medium of one or both charge states. Visible features of the document can be compared with the detected pattern, or the pattern may be compared to a database or decrypted with a key.

A method, programmed medium and system are provided for enabling a user to move a piece of data or context to another page in a mashup application. Rather than linking directly between pages, pages are 'linked' by a drag-and-drop action of the user. To move a piece of data or context to another page, the user drags an item from the current mashup page onto the tab of a target page to which the data item is to be moved. The dropping of a text item on, for example, a tab of a target page causes an event to be fired on the target page, which may be wired to widgets contained within the target page. The target tab is then brought into focus and its page contents displayed. Visual indicators are also provided on source pages to indicate the target pages, which will 'accept' the dragged contents.

Mashup application processing system

An apparatus, method, and program product are provided for parsing a document. A match point tuple is passed to a parser instance. The match point tuple comprises a match point. The parser instance stream parses an XML stream. In response to a match point statement in the XML stream matching the match point expression in the match point tuple, the parser instance constructs a DOM instance comprising XML content matching the match point. In a sample embodiment, the match point tuple further comprises a filter, and the parser instance adds XML statements that pass the filter to the DOM instance and discards statements that do not pass the filter.

XML streaming parsing with DOM instances

The present invention discloses a system for implementing a software application programming interface (API) within a session initiation protocol (SIP) servlet. Such a system can utilize a state machine, a SIP servlet configured to execute the state machine, and an enterprise service bus (ESB). The state machine can be configured to send and receive a series of communications and can be defined in a definition document. The series of communications can represent the execution of a software function defined within an API. The SIP servlet can select a state machine based upon an indicator contained within a received SIP message. The ESB can be configured to execute a system function in response to communications with the state machine.

A system and method for utilizing data mining to generate a policy document or to revise theory within a policy document. A data base of unknown events is mined for application to the development of a system management policy document. The results of the data mining of the database of unknown events are automatically incorporated into a policy document, subject to user approval, to produce a new policy document or an updated version of an existing policy document.

Suggesting data interpretations and patterns for updating policy documents

Development tooling receives the extended Web services description language with call flow interactions. The development tooling allows the user to select trivial message exchanges in the call flow. The development tooling may generate servlets for the selected message exchanges automatically to form a template form of the application that will execute in the converged application engine. Alternatively, the development tooling may generate a template form of the application that may be interpreted in an interpretive engine. The user may then drop in higher level business logic. The automatically generated servlets, or template form of the application to be interpreted, are configured to pass to the Web services information, including the last message contents.

Methods, systems, processes and devices are provided for optimizing throughput and quality of service of a presence enabled managed service. The method includes at least a first entity requesting from an aggregator of presence services presence information of a second entity. The method includes looking up a profile of the aggregator stored in a cache of a presence server hosted by the presence enabled managed service. The method includes determining from the profile an aggregator level of service the aggregator has subscribed to from the presence enabled managed service, wherein the aggregator level of service is one of high level service, medium level service, and low level service. The method includes storing presence information of the second entity on a presence document on the cache and returning the presence information to the first entity based upon the aggregator level of service.
