Abstract: A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and memory for programmatically switching arbitrary HTML pages is disclosed. The method includes the steps of receiving control information in an application server from a client computer, and executing a script in the application server to generate a map relating HTML files with commands to show pages related to the HTML files. When a control event is received from the client computer, the mapping provides a basis for commanding the client computer's browser to switch to a second HTML page. In one embodiment, the invention also includes a program storage device, tangibly embodying instructions for performing the above method steps. The invention also includes an apparatus for remotely scripting local objects.

Abstract: A binary class library is adapted to provide full debugging type information particularly for use during program compilation in a minimal debug-generation mode. The library includes, a compile unit that #includes all the include files describing the classes that a given class library implements and exports. The compile unit also includes code defining a symbol with an external linkage. The resulting object module is put into the binary class library or a separate debug library. An inclusion direction and an external linkage symbol to the debug library are added to all include files for the class library that are #included by any program using its classes. These additions cause the compiler to direct the linker to add the debug library to the list of libraries from which it tries to resolve symbolic references, and to add a reference to the external linkage symbol that the linker will have to resolve by adding the debug library into the link.

Abstract: Automatic detection of the activities of a user of a data processing system is provided by the use of an Activity Event Detection Process, an Activity Detection Process, and an Interrogator Process. The Activity Event Detection Process detects events indicating user activity. The Activity Detection Process evaluates the user activity indicating events to determine the activity of a user. The Interrogator Process provides an interface to a requesting user and formulates appropriate queries to be sent to one or more Activity Detection Processes.
