Abstract: An improved XML query system represents an XML document as a stream of discrete ‘events,’ with each event representing a portion of the document as the document is being parsed. Expression-based event matching such as XPath can be performed against the event stream using a stack to keep only the relevant contexts in memory. Observers can be used to listen for matching events. Matching events can then be routed for processing by appropriate objects or components and returned to the event stream if necessary. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for authorization to adaptively control access to a resource in a resource hierarchy. At least one role for a principal is retrieved from the resource hierarchy or a first cache based on whether the at east one role was previously retrieved from the resource hierarchy. A policy is retrieved from the resource hierarchy or a second cache based on whether the policy was previously retrieved from the resource hierarchy. The policy is evaluated based on the at least one role and a determination on whether to grant the principal access to the resource is made based on the evaluation of the policy.

Abstract: In an embodiment, plug-in information can be synchronized on each node in a cluster by utilizing a migratable plug-in configuration manager and a migratable global MBean. The configuration manager can change the configuration on a master server, such as loading or unloading a plug-in. The configuration manager stores the configuration as an MBean attribute, which is accessible across the cluster. The configuration manager can direct the global MBean to notify a plug-in manager on each node in the cluster, whereby each plug-in manager can execute the change locally.

Abstract: A system and method for providing channels within application servers, messaging systems, and transaction-based systems. Network traffic internal to the server is carried over these channels. This allows the administrator to segregate internal network traffic, usually for security or performance reasons. In addition administrators have finer, dynamic, control over external network channels.

Abstract: The use of XML types can allow the combination of XML and JAVA® type systems, which overcomes many deficiencies in existing marshaling and unmarshaling systems by translating XML schemas which define XML data in an XML document into XML types in JAVA®. Unlike traditional attempts at translating between XML and JAVA®, XML schemas realized as XML types can remain fully faithful to the XML, and are capable of a number of XML data operations. In addition, the XML types can be easily transformed among themselves and JAVA® types, and a lightweight store retaining XML information at tag level allows incremental XML marshaling and unmarshaling.

Abstract: A system and method for improving the effectiveness of a data processing application when using a virtual machine, where the program includes many methods, i.e. program sections, that are stored in the memory of the computer used, and where garbage collecting is used by said program. Thread stacks are first analyzed with respect to the methods required thereby. Each of the methods required is caused to be regenerated, where occurrent references to a method are replaced with references to the regenerated methods. All non-regenerated methods are then erased, and the corresponding memory space released.

Abstract: A software debugging environment uses multiple abstract views to provide the flexibility required to perform effective debugging on an executing software program using data structures. Developers can select between one or more views to see different aspects of the software being examined. Each view can have a filter with specific properties determining which quantities are displayed, the format they are displayed in and any editing capability. In some embodiments, the selection of views, filters defining the views, and the editing properties for the contents shown in the views may be set interactively. In some cases, this interaction occurs through the interface of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) containing the debugger. In other cases, the properties of views in the debugging environment are determined by definitions supplied in configuration files. Special facilities are provided for the debugging of JSP programs.

Abstract: Providing a framework for developing, deploying and managing sophisticated mobile solutions, with a simple Web-like programming model that integrates with existing enterprise components. Mobile applications may consist of a data model definition, user interface templates, a client side controller, which includes scripts that define actions, and, on the server side, a collection of conduits, which describe how to mediate between the data model and the enterprise. In one embodiment, the occasionally-connected application server assumes that data used by mobile applications is persistently stored and managed by external systems. The occasionally-connected data model can be a metadata description of the mobile application's anticipated usage of this data, and be optimized to enable the efficient traversal and synchronization of this data between occasionally connected devices and external systems.
