A method for providing a dormant state for content management servers is provided. Client devices are allowed to conduct transactions with servers when the servers are active. However, in a dormant state, the servers are not allowed to accept new transactions. Thus, by utilizing the dormant state, software upgrades can be made to one server at a time. Alternatively, all servers can be taken down for major upgrades, with the servers still operated in a read-only mode based on a file image from a point in time just prior to the shutdown. When the upgrade is completed, the servers can be returned to the active state.

Method and system for virtual server dormancy

Methods and systems for selecting an existing connection from a connection pool. A connection is immediately decoupled from its client session when the client session is released by a user and made available to the same user or other users. Criteria are defined, applied and considered for either re-using an existing connection or creating a new connection.

Method and system for connection pooling for content management clients

A method for providing load balancing for a server cluster using a server dormant mode. Client devices are allowed to conduct transactions with servers when the servers are active. However, the servers are not allowed to accept new transactions in a dormant mode. Thus, an overloaded server can be placed into the dormant mode until the server is no longer overloaded. Loads will be redistributed among other active servers in the cluster while a server is in the dormant mode.

Techniques to provide stateless services in a content management client are disclosed. A session manager is instantiated to service a request to access a content item. The session manager is used to obtain from a global session pool that is not specific to the session manager a session to service the request. The session is used to service the request. Once the request has been completed the session manager may be terminated, but the global session pool and associated object cache remain.

Stateless services in content management clients

A method for dynamic provisioning of server deployments using a dormant mode for content servers. Client devices may conduct transactions with servers when the servers are in an active mode. However, in the dormant mode, the servers do not accept new transactions. Thus, by utilizing the dormant mode on one or more servers, a server deployment scheme can be effectively scaled down by reducing the number of active servers. In order to scale up the deployment, one or more active servers are added to the deployment.

Methods and systems for providing light weight client sessions. Connections are immediately decoupled from sessions when released by a user and made available to the same or other users. Re-authentication of the user to re-use a connection can be streamlined by maintaining client login data in a client login record cache.
