  • Patent number: 8938522
    Abstract: A content management system (CMS) includes a value-add application with a first set of XML content services, one or more dedicated XML processing servers with a second and other sets of XML content services, and a core CMS with a third set of XML content services. The content management system may be designed to provide XML content services at any of these three tiers of processing. A first threshold is defined that allows the value-add application to determine when to offload XML content services to a dedicated XML processing server. A second threshold is defined that allows the core CMS to determine when to offload XML content services to a dedicated XML processing server. Callback services are included that allow each tier of XML content services to send or receive additional information to complete the XML processing. The result is a content management system that is very powerful and flexible.

  • Patent number: 8874601
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to computing, and in particular, to a systems and methods for a querying a database. Certain embodiments implement a model-driven database query (“the SADL query”) facilitating a design-time tool that allows a developer to create the query based upon existing Business Objects (BOs) and their associations. This SADL query leverages mapping between business-layer entities and database-layer entities, such mapping being derived from association metadata already extant in the business model used to create the Business Objects. In certain embodiments, query views may be based upon associations present within the business layer, rather than upon database-level entities (such as joins or restriction rules) that are typically relied upon in conventional query creation. Embodiments of the present invention may thus align query creation more closely with the structure of the business layer, and may also render query design agnostic relative to the identity of the underlying database.
