Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for implementing synchronization of state information in an efficient, scalable manner. A shared state server receives a request from a client device to access a scope containing state information. The scope is distributed over a partition(s) via the use of a 'data grid' thereby increasing scalability. The shared state server relays the request to a data grid server responsible for maintaining the data grid comprised of an in-memory cache and partitions outside of the in-memory cache. The request includes a key associated with a value corresponding to the requested state information. The data grid server obtains the value associated with the key from its data grid and sends it to the shared state server to be relayed to the requesting client device. In this manner, the state information is stored in a scalable manner thereby improving the efficiency in synchronizing state information.
