  • Patent number: 6782414
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product is provided for the determination of a single delivery status of a message sent to multiple recipients which also allows the message to be transmitted or transferred through multiple message protocols, such as Extended Simple Message Transfer Protocol (ESMTP), Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), and Vendor Independent Messaging (VIM). A sender generates an original message that is intended to be sent to multiple recipients. When a delivery status notification is received from a recipient, the delivery status notification contains a protocol-specific delivery status code. The protocol-specific status codes of multiple messaging protocols are mapped to a protocol-neutral set of status codes that can be commonly applied to any given messaging protocol.

  • Patent number: 6711582
    Abstract: A persistent object service (POS) that interfaces to a set of one or more relational database management systems. A persistent object is mapped to one or more tables in a relational database based on the object's attribute types and the object's relationships with other objects. If the object inherits from another object, the mapping creates multiple tables, a top level table for base attributes, and a set of one or more child tables that contain extended attributes of the inherited objects. A routine for storing an object converts persistent object operations to a sequence of SQL statements for storing the object in the relational database.
