  • Patent number: 8453162
    Abstract: Method, parser, messaging system, computer program and computer program product for handling context information associated with a message flow in a messaging system, the message flow having processing nodes for processing the message. A request is received at the parser to perform a first operation associated with the message. An indication of the context information to retrieve from a context store is obtained. This context information is for use by at least one of the processing nodes in the message flow for determining how to process the message. The context information is retrieved from the context store and a logical representation of the context information is then created in a format accessible by at least one processing node in the message flow.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030221012
    Abstract: A resource system and method for controlling access to physical resources in an application hosting environment is based on a five dimensional resource and security model which extends the existing three-dimensional security model by adding logical resource (LR) and organization unit (OU) dimensions. The logical resources are an abstraction of physical resources. Organization units (OU) represent a set of logical resources without access attributes, a set of physical resources and a function which maps logical to physical resources for defined organizational entities. The implementation separates the physical system dependent resources from the components and access control using the resources.
