  • Data framework to enable rich processing of data from any arbitrary data source
    Patent number: 8886659
    Abstract: Data is accessed and updated in a data store at a field granularity. A user query specifies one or more non-unique fields of a record. The query is sent to a data store to retrieve the fields of the record at a field granularity, in satisfaction of the query. The fields of the record can also be modified by transmitting a record ID along with original content, while omitting some of the record data, and by also including the modification to be made.

  • Integration of runtime environments
    Patent number: 8522260
    Abstract: The integration of two runtimes. The integration may be accomplished via the sharing of all or a portion of the environments of each of the runtimes with each other. For instance, as one runtime executes a particular application, control may be passed at an appropriate point to the second runtime. The second runtime may pass control back to the first runtime at an appropriate time. This passing of control between runtimes may happen perhaps a number of times during the execution of the application. The applications might be expressed entirely declaratively in a manner that integrates both runtimes as the application executes. Thus, the application may take advantage of the strengths of each runtime at the appropriate time.

  • Data framework to enable rich processing of data from any arbitrary data source
    Patent number: 8290922
    Abstract: Accessing data in a data store at a field granularity. A method includes receiving a query from a user. The query specifies one or more non-unique fields of a record. The method further includes sending the query to a data store to retrieve the fields of the record at a field granularity. The method further includes receiving data for the one or more non-unique fields of the record at a field granularity.

  • Streaming object instantiation using bookmarks
    Patent number: 7979566
    Abstract: Bookmarking of tokens in a set of streaming tokens, each representing an instantiation instruction or instantiation context. A navigator receives a set of streaming tokens, and provides the tokens to the instantiation manager. However, if the navigator receives an instruction to bookmark a particular token, the navigator buffers the set of streaming instructions at least beginning at the bookmarked token (and possible even earlier if there were prior bookmarks). The navigator replays the set of streaming tokens beginning at a bookmark in response to an instruction from an instantiation manager. The instantiation manager receives the set of streaming tokens. If the instantiation manager is not presently capable of handling the instruction of a particular token, the instantiation manager instructs the navigator to bookmark the particular token.

  • Synchronizing transaction ambient state among multiple transaction managers
    Patent number: 7730487
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for synchronizing ambient state among multiple transaction managers. A coordinating transaction manager establishes transaction ambient state for an application initiated transaction. The coordinating transaction manager sends and a subordinate transaction manager receives a pointer to an ambient state delegate. The subordinate transaction manager sends a request to invoke the ambient state delegate to the coordinating transaction manager in response to receiving an operation. The coordinating transaction manager invokes the ambient state delegate to format the transaction ambient state for the subordinate transaction manager. The coordinating transaction manager sends and the subordinate transaction manager receives the formatted transaction ambient state such that the subordinate transaction manager can appropriately process the operation within the scope of the transaction.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAPPING A DOMAIN MODELING LANGUAGE TO A RELATIONAL STORE
    Publication number: 20100088685
    Abstract: A method and system for mapping between constructs in a domain modeling language and a relational storage language is provided. A source code authored in a source language is received and a set of constructs in the source code are identified. The set of constructs in the source code are mapped to a set of constructs in a target language. The source code is then compiled into a target code authored in the target language such that one of the source code or target code include a declarative constraint-based and/or order-independent execution model.

  • Interface infrastructure for creating and interacting with web services
    Patent number: 7512957
    Abstract: A web services namespace pertains to an infrastructure for enabling creation of a wide variety of applications. The infrastructure provides a foundation for building message-based applications of various scale and complexity. The infrastructure or framework provides APIs for basic messaging, secure messaging, reliable messaging and transacted messaging. In some embodiments, the associated APIs are factored into a hierarchy of namespaces in a manner that balances utility, usability, extensibility and versionability.
