  • Publication number: 20140157106
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for providing a web page includes logic adapted to access a uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the URL comprises hash parameters specifying one or more widgets, logic adapted to create a web page by loading each widget specified in the hash parameters of the URL, and logic adapted to output the web page. In another embodiment, a computer program product for designing a web page includes a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code readable/executable by a computer to: access a URL, wherein the URL comprises hash parameters specifying one or more widgets, create a web page by loading each widget specified in the hash parameters of the URL, and output the web page. Other systems, methods, and computer program products for providing a web page using widgets specified in a URL are described according to even more embodiments.

  • Patent number: 8676847
    Abstract: Organization and assignment of access privileges to resources in a computer network. The resources of the network are organized into a hierarchical tree structure, with each node in the tree representing a resource, resource group, or resource instance. Read and/or write permission to one or more resources may be explicitly granted to the resource or implicitly granted based upon the location of the resource in the hierarchical structure. The access rights attach to the resource(s). Upon movement of the resource within the tree structure or to an alternate tree structure, the access rights associated therewith remain with the relocated resource.

  • Patent number: 8140962
    Abstract: Dynamically selecting which properties to display for a group of resources is provided. A selection of a group of resources is received to be viewed in a graphical user interface. A determination is made as to whether the group of resources is one of a plurality of previously saved groups of resources. Responsive to the group of resources being one of the plurality of previously saved groups of resources, a determination is made as to whether the previously saved group of resources has an associated saved group of properties. Responsive to the previously saved group of resources having the associated saved group of properties, a table is generated that comprises the previously saved group of resources and the associated saved group of properties. The table is then displayed to a user via a graphical user interface.

  • Publication number: 20080168363
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for configuring the appearance and presentation of a widget that is represented in a multi-dimensional graphical user interface, the method comprising the steps of determining available resource items that are to be displayed within a context chooser window GUI, and organizing and displaying the available resource items within the context chooser window GUI, wherein the available resource items are organized and formatted to be displayed within the context chooser window as a listing, a table, a topological map, or a tree data-structure. The method further comprises the steps of selecting at least one available resource item from the context chooser interface, displaying the selected available resource item in a context selected window GUI, wherein the selected available resource item is organized and formatted to be displayed within the context selected window as a listing, a table, a topological map, or a tree data-structure.

  • Patent number: 6314512
    Abstract: Detection of a failure in a multi-system application, includes detecting a first message between a first system and a second system and creating a connection object representing a connection between the first system and the second system. Thereafter, connection status is monitored with the connection object to detect a connection or system failure. The same connection object is used for all subsequent messages between the first system and the second system. The multi-system application uses service objects on the first and the second system, and when a connection or system failure is detected, failure handling is initiated, including notifying all service objects of the failure.

  • Patent number: 6175876
    Abstract: Routing asynchronous state changes in a multi-processing system having an end user system, a central application server system and an endpoint system, includes detecting a state change with a service object on the endpoint system, sending a notification to an associated service proxy object on the central application server system notifying the associated service proxy object of the state change, sending a notification to an associated distributed service object which is an owner of the service proxy notifying the associated distributed service object of the state change, sending a notification to an associated distributed service proxy object on the end user system notifying the associated distributed service proxy object of the state change, and posting an event to an associated owner window of the distributed service proxy object using a window identifier including sending a notification to the associated owner window notifying the associated owner window of the state change.
