  • Patent number: 8276118
    Abstract: Operating an integrated development environment in a data processing system comprising running a source code editor, displaying source code in a graphical interface of the source code editor, displaying at least one cross-reference marker, the at least one cross-reference marker indicating crosscutting in the source code, receiving an input, changing one or more cross-reference markers, and highlighting the one or more changed cross-reference marker.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 26, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 25, 2012
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Patent number: 8185885
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing recovery data for program code. A first version of an object code module is received. A second version of the object code module is received, the second version being a subsequent version to the first version. A unique identifier is inserted in the second version, wherein the unique identifier indicates a location of recovery data. First difference data representing a difference between the second version and the first version is calculated. The first difference data is stored as the recovery data. The first difference data is stored within the second version of the object code module at the location. The unique identifier indicates a location of the recovery data.

  • Patent number: 7349970
    Abstract: In a workload managed system comprising a plurality of server processes each capable of supporting a given program entity, such as an Enterprise JavaBeans™ specified stateful session bean, a stateful session bean instance is passivated, by writing it to a bean store, on completion of a unit of work. On next use the session bean is reactivated, by reading it from the bean store, in any one of the plurality of servers thereby allowing workload management for stateful session beans. A routing table is maintained, in non-volatile mass storage, that contains location information for units of work and stateful session bean instances, used to maintain unit of work-server affinity for the lifetime of the unit of work Stateful session beans instances are associated with ID keys that include a flag that is used to indicate whether or not the routing table contains location information for the bean instance.
