Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a procurement server for processing one or more requisition requests from various client devices. The procurement server determines whether there is an approver that can approve of the various requisition requests. The procurement server performs this determination by evaluating one or more requisition expressions, which include various expression attributes associated with corresponding condition operators. To expedite such processing, the procurement server builds an expression index corresponding to the various requisition expressions, where the expression index includes various nodes and associations between nodes. Each node represents a unique value assignable to the expression attributes of the various requisition expressions. When the nodes of the expression index are traversed, the last node in the traversal yields an approver that can approve the requisition request. The expression index requires less memory and time to evaluate than the various requisition expressions.

Abstract: A method for creating interactive web sites that are easy to modify is disclosed. The method uses a specific web server request handler system that examines each request to determine if a handler should be called to handle information related to the referring web page. Specifically, the server system examines the address of the referring web page to see if the server has a handler routine associated with the referring web page. If the server has a handler associated with the referring web page, then the server executes the handler routine to process any information in the current request, any state information, or any other information. After executing the handler routine, the server handles the current request. The handling of the current request may be affected by the processing performed by the handler routine associated with the referring web page.
