Abstract
A request server automatically detects, in response to initialization of the request server, if there are previous generations of requests outstanding for the request server, and if so, immunizes itself against those requests. The request server starts one or more threads that are designed to gather messages associated with requests from previous incarnations of the server and handles those messages without affecting the requestors. While the request server is immunized from earlier generations of requests, the request server is capable of processing new requests.
