Abstract: Methods and Systems for non-intrusive real-time analysis of secure communications between a first application and a second application, wherein the first and second applications communicate through a communication channel. A plurality of secure communications between the first application and the second application is non-intrusively and securely captured. The plurality of communications is processed to process communications from a physical layer to a network layer. The plurality of communications is grouped into a plurality of streams and connection meta information is added to each stream, wherein each stream represents a single network connection. A plurality of transactions is created from the communications included in the plurality of streams, wherein a stream within the plurality of streams is encrypted, and the encrypted stream is decrypted.

Abstract: Methods and systems for load balancing of Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) object servers. A name service cluster is invoked. It is indicated to a user whether bind interceptors are in use. The user is provided with a class having relevant methods if bind interceptors are in use. The class that contains the most relevant methods is specified. Name service clusters are established for object servers where each name service cluster contains a unique object binding table containing object server reference bindings. Object server reference bindings having identical names are clustered into common clusters. A load balance is performed by having a name service select an object server located in an invoked cluster. A cluster component is appended to the invoked cluster to provide failover upon failover of the object server; and a selected object server reference binding is forwarded to a client upon completion of the load balance.

Abstract: A naming service clustering method which permits naming service load balancing over a set of object references contained within the same cluster such that loads are equitably distributed among servers. Each cluster contains its own unique object binding table which contains object references which each typically represent a single server. Load balancing is performed using a load balance algorithm (e.g., Round Robin). The specific algorithm which is used to perform load balancing is specified upon creation of each naming service cluster. The method provides transparent load balancing among multiple object references in the same cluster. In addition. transparent “failover” among object references in the same cluster is achieved. The method also provides a dynamic addition of new object references into a cluster via binding, along with the dynamic removal of old object references from a cluster via unbinding.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing automatic context management for simulating virtual users for testing and monitoring web applications, including those web applications that execute code on the client side, without requiring the actual execution of client side web application code or the execution of the client within the testing, monitoring, or simulation tool. Simulation tools with automatic context management according to the present invention can record and replay context-full scripts that do not require manual customization and are capable of handling state information even for web applications that execute code on the client side. These scripts are able to realistically mimic complex web application transactions on the network HTTP layer.

Abstract: A database system providing high performance database versioning is described.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and threads for responding to a request to perform an operation on a server object as may be provided in software form within an object request broker (ORB) server library or an ORB server. The specified object is identified by a marshaled object key in a conventional manner. The method improves upon prior art techniques by directly locating the object using the marshaled object key free of any unmarshaling step. The specified operation can then be invoked on the located object. The method applies to both in-process and out-of-process requests. In a preferred implementation, the marshaled object key is utilized as a hash key to directly access a pointer to the object.

Abstract: Provided is a method and system for monitoring and analysis of networked systems, that is non-intrusive and real time. Both secure and non-secure traffic may be analyzed. The provided method involves non-intrusively copying data from a communication medium, reconstructing this data to a higher level of communication, such as the application level, grouping the data into sets, each set representing a session, and organizing the data for chosen sessions in hierarchical fashion which corresponds to the hierarchy of the communicated information. If monitored communications are encrypted, they are non-intrusively decrypted in real time. Hierarchically reconstructed session data is used by one or more plug-in applications, such as alarms, archival applications, visualization applications, script generation applications, abandonment monitoring applications, error detection applications, performance monitoring applications, and others.
