Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems facilitating the support of stateful messaging protocols in web services and other network environments comprising a plurality of distributed control points. The present invention supports Web service protocols, such as SOAP-Conversation, that introduce an element of statefulness into a Web service invocation, ensuring that use of such protocols is enabled and, in some embodiments, enhanced in web services networks implemented by a plurality of distributed control points or routing nodes. As discussed above, a fundamental requirement introduced by stateful protocols is that, once an endpoint initializes stateful data (such as a session, context, or conversation token) in response to a Web service invocation, all subsequent messages associated with that conversation instance or stateful data must be routed to that endpoint.

Abstract: A system and methods are provided for allowing a transaction based on arbitrary atomic transaction models initiated in a web services environment to be imported into a J2EE application server environment. An extensible mechanism is provided to bridge from the web services environment into XA and execute a web services operation in the context of the bridged transaction. A resource adapter deployed in the application server receives a SOAP request and converts it into a SOAPMessage, and determines whether it comprises a transaction request. The SOAPMessage is inflowed into the application server as Work, and is routed to a SOAP processing engine (instead of packaging the request for delivery to an application component). The SOAP engine processes the request within the context of the transaction imported from the web services environment. A SOAPMessage response may be returned to the resource adapter and serialized to the web services environment.

Abstract: An Internet content delivery network deploys one or more CDN server regions in an enterprise and manages those regions as part of the Internet CDN. In one aspect of the invention, a CDN service provider (CDNSP) deploys one or more CDN regions behind an enterprise's corporate firewall(s). The regions are used to deliver Internet content—content that has been tagged or otherwise made available for delivery over the Internet from the CDN's content servers. This content includes, for example, content that given content providers have identified is to be delivered by the CDN. In addition, the enterprise may tag intranet content, which is then also served from the CDN regions behind the firewall. Intranet content remains secure by virtue of using the enterprise's existing security infrastructure.

Abstract: Remote data transfer is achieved via a data transfer network. To allow a user to transfer data at a higher data transfer rate in a cellular network, a user experiences the problem that the bandwidth available to him may vary, and in particular, may not be sufficient to allow the user to download information from the internet. To address this problem, a registered user is allowed to transfer identified data, for example, data identified by a particular url, by a user of a cellular network to a remote location, for example, the user's home computer.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method related to Attach procedures and Routing Area Update (RAU) procedures in packet switched cellular networks, in particular GPRS and UMTS networks. When an MS roams from a routing area covered by several SGSNs in an SGSN pool into a routing area covered by one SGSN (new SGSN) outside the pool, the roaming request will be sent from the new SGSN to a default SGSN, which for the new SGSN is believed to be the old SGSN. The default SGSN will, unless it itself is the old SGSN, relay the roaming request to the SGSN (old SGSN) previously serving the MS. To avoid that the default SGSN has to monitor for a response of the request, and thereby occupying resources in the default SGSN, the default SGSN inserts (or when possible, leave unchanged) the address of the new SGSN in the request. The response of the request will therefore be transmitted directly from the old SGSN to the new SGSN and not via the default SGSN as described in the existing technical specifications.

Abstract: A method for directing a client to a content server containing desired content by providing the client with an address shared by a plurality of content servers, each of which has a copy of the desired content. The client is then served from an optimal, or closest available content server selected from the plurality of content servers. This optimal content server is selected on the basis of an optimal path from the client to the shared address.

Abstract: An information processing server includes a server storage device in which plural objects are stored. Each object includes the unique information and the URL for accessing to an information processing server for updating. A mobile terminal transmits an install request including an install list. In the install list, the information unique to an object, as needed for installation, among plural objects, and the URL, are stated by the mobile terminal. The information processing server refers to the install list to select objects to be transmitted, from the plural objects stored in a server storage device, and transmits the selected object to the mobile terminal. Thus, the user only has to select the URL and the information unique to the needed object, as an object desired to be actually used, with the aid of the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A node is removed/added from a network with minimal disruption by actuating a mechanism on an adjacent node that provides an indication to a controller node, which commands a wrap of the adjacent nodes. Once the node is added/removed, the wrap can be removed to resume normal operation. With this arrangement, disruption of traffic flow is minimized as nodes are added and removed from the network.

Abstract: A connection between a secure shared space and an external system is created with a connector tool. The connector tool code is included in an independent agent called a “bot” that is created by a software developer. Bots run in the background in an automated and unattended manner in a specialized enterprise integration server. Each bot has a unique identity and runs under an account assigned to the enterprise integration server. A bot can be invited to a shared space much as another collaborator. Bots can also invite others to shared spaces. All bots running in the enterprise integration server are administered by a centralized administrative control. This allows account and identity policies to be established and global behaviors, including authentication settings, startup options and scope to be determined centrally. The centralized control allows simple installation, configuration and deployment and administrative control of bot operation and access.
