Provided are techniques for invoking with a processor executing on a computer a source code parser to obtain source information that includes a first location of an Application Programming Interface (API) call and parameters of the API call in source code of a client application, where the parameters the API call do not include query text for a query that is to be used to access a database; examining a stack trace to determine a second location of the API call in the stack trace; and deriving the query of the API call and a third location of the query in the source code by identifying the query in the stack trace at the location of the API call in the stack trace.

Correlating queries issued by applications with their source lines and analyzing applications for problem determination and where used analysis

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for determining an extension to use to process an input object to a call in a program. An association of parameter definitions is indicated with extensions, where each extension comprises a program capable of being selected to process at least one input object. A call is received for an extension point including at least one input object to determine one extension to use to process the at least one object. A determination is made of a set of candidate extensions capable of processing the at least one input object based on a first criteria determining extensions whose parameter definitions are capable of satisfying the requirements defined for the extension point. A selection is made from the set of candidate extensions of one extension to use to process the at least one object using a second criteria.

Determining an extension to use to process an input object to a call in a program

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for determining an extension to use to process an input object to a call in a program. An association of parameter definitions is indicated with extensions, where each extension comprises a program capable of being selected to process at least one input object as part of an operation. A call is received for an extension point including at least one input object to determine one extension to use to process the at least one object, wherein requirements are defined for the extension point. A determination is made of a set of candidate extensions capable of processing the at least one input object based on a first criteria determining extensions whose parameter definitions are capable of satisfying the requirements defined for the extension point. A selection is made from the set of candidate extensions of one extension to use to process the at least one object using a second criteria.

Disclosed is an apparatus, including a memory for receiving a resource descriptor, the resource descriptor including a uniform resource identifier (URI) for a particular resource and an associated search query for locating the particular resource; and a controller, coupled to the memory, for initiating an access process for the particular resource using the resource descriptor. A method of retrieving a particular resource, comprising: parsing a resource descriptor into a uniform resource identifier (URI) for the particular resource and an associated search query for locating the particular resource; and initiating an access process for the particular resource using the URI and the associated search query.

Apparatus, method and computer program product for resource locator using queries

The illustrative embodiment provides a computer implemented method, a data processing system, and a computer program product for managing user roles. A customization application receives a request to modify a user role for an application. In response to the request, the customization application allows a user to modify a set of features associated with the user role to form a set of customized features. A role database stores the set of customized features for the user role. The user roles in the role database are available for use by a plurality of users of the application.

Method and data processing system for managing user roles

Disclosed is an apparatus for producing a resource descriptor for a particular resource having an associated URI, including a controller forming one or more candidate signatures for the particular resource wherein said controller identifies one of said candidate signatures having a predetermined level of correspondence to the particular resource as a signature for the particular resource; and a concatenator for merging the signature with the URI to produce the resource descriptor. A method, and computer program product having executable instructions for implementing the method, includes forming one or more candidate signatures for the particular resource wherein one of said candidate signatures having a predetermined level of correspondence to the particular resource is identified as a signature for the particular resource; and concatenating the signature with the URI to produce the resource descriptor.
