Abstract: A queue is configured for accumulating a request to process a program component in an application server even when a naming service is used so as to enable priority control, flow control, or load distribution for component processing. A scheduler is provided between client terminals and a container server. The physical position information of the queue is associated with the logical name of the component, for registration in the naming service. The naming service is referenced for name resolution of the logical name of the component on which the processing request has been made from a client terminal, and stores the processing request on the component in the queue corresponding to the obtained physical position information of the queue. By using the queue, the scheduler can perform priority control, flow control, load distribution control, or the like for processing of the component.
