  • System for controlling access to and generation of localized application values
    Patent number: 7007026
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling generation of and access to localized application values to applications. The system includes an administrative interface linked to a running application and to a communications network that is configured for receiving requests for application data from the application. The interface responds by determining obtaining localized application values from a cache or if not cached, from a central database or repository of network localized application values that is also linked to the communications network. Code or mechanisms are provided for creating and populating data structures or objects for storage in the cache. Mechanisms or background threads are also provided for monitoring changes to localized application values in the repository and automatically updating element values in the cache as and when they change.
