  • AUTOMATED TRANSLATION OF SERVICE INVOCATIONS FOR BATCH PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20090319497
    Abstract: The utilization of data services (such as web services) may involve the invocation of services, which may reduce performance and overburden the server. In some scenarios, the invocation may be specified in a language that does not support batch invocation, but it may not be feasible to re-code the invocations in a language that supports batching. Instead, the service invocations may be automatically translated into a batch logic specified in a batch-capable language and sent to the service as a batch. For example, a local proxy may receive a language-integrated query having two or more service invocations, compile the query into an expression tree including the two or more invocations, and send the expression tree to the service host to achieve the batch processing of the service invocations.

  • Translating Identifier in Request into Data Structure
    Publication number: 20090210400
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to translating an identifier in a request into a data structure. In aspects, a client sends a data access request that includes a URI formatted according to the HTTP protocol. The data access request may include a request to create, change, retrieve, or delete one or more resources. The URI is received by a server that has components to translate the URI into a data structure that defines one or more resources indicated by the URI. This data structure is passed to a data source adapter that translates the data structure into operations used to access data on the data source associated with the data source adapter. There may be a plurality of data source adapters with each data source adapter structured to access data on a particular data source using the data structure to define the resources to access.

  • Syntax for members added through object protocol systems and methods
    Patent number: 7574701
    Abstract: A special syntax is developed to differentiate between accesses to a primary and one or more secondary object protocols in a programming language. The syntax allows the compiler to differentiate between the primary and secondary object model based on syntax, rather than type. The syntax is created in such a way as to approximate the syntax of the secondary object model, and allows the user to dynamically generate member names.

  • CUSTOMIZATION OF RELATIONSHIP TRAVERSAL
    Publication number: 20090077120
    Abstract: An object-relational mapping mechanism facilitates customized relationship traversal. The mechanism can override default loading behavior with custom functionality (e.g., eager loading, lazy loading . . . ) specified by a programmer, for example. In other words, the object-relational mapping mechanism includes an extensibility point or hook for customization.

  • FILE FORMATS FOR EXTERNAL SPECIFICATION OF OBJECT-RELATIONAL MAPPING
    Publication number: 20090063555
    Abstract: A unique formatting scheme for object-relational mapping allows disparate applications that adopt the scheme to seamlessly access data in disparate relational databases. The formatting scheme contemplates a common format that conveys the mapping information through (i) attributes embedded with code objects, and (ii) an external mapping source. Adoption of the common format can result in several advantages for network-based client-server operations: (i) Software developers can continue programming in their existing languages. (ii) Data servers from various vendors can also continue to be developed and managed in the vendors' core programming languages. (iii) Vendors that employ client applications which have adopted the common format can consistently use various data warehouses without incurring customization costs.

  • Code blueprints
    Patent number: 7500224
    Abstract: A blueprint is described that provides a framework for writing a code generator. A blueprint translator translates the blueprint into one or more classes with source code. The newly generated code can then be compiled. If the user wishes to add additional functionality to a generated class, this is done in a separate source file. At compilation time, the compiler combines the generated class with the user's additions, as if they were written in a single class. Later, if the blueprint is ever changed, the generated code can safely be updated without overwriting the user's additions. Alternately, the user can embed his desired additions or changes directly into the blueprint (embedded code). In this manner, should the blueprint ever be re-compiled, the user's changes will still be present. The partial classes technique can be used in conjunction with the embedded code technique.
