  • Publication number: 20070260670
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to scripting integration in a Web application environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for Web application integration with dialogue based scripts. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for integrating a Web application with dialogue-based script input can be provided. The method can include receiving a script input request from an executing script; formatting the script input request from the executing script into a Web form for a Web page and providing the Web page to a content browser; receiving form input in the Web form in the Web page from the content browser and transforming the form input into script input for the executing script; and, providing the script input to the executing script.

  • Publication number: 20060036601
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for autonomically configuring a virtual log. In accordance with the present invention, events flowing into the virtual log can be heuristically processed to determine if any events have been lost. When an event is considered to have been lost, the size of the log associated with the event can be increased. Also, the interval in which the virtual log interacts with the associated log can be decreased so as to ensure that the events will not continue to be lost. When a period of time has elapsed during which no events are heuristically determined to have been lost, either or both of the interval and associated log can be adjusted so as to increase the interval and decrease the size of the associated log.

  • Publication number: 20050015643
    Abstract: The present invention is a checkpoint processor configured for coupling to individual Web services through a Web services engine. The checkpoint processor can include checkpoint logic programmed to store checkpoint data for the individual Web service instance invocations. The checkpoint processor further can include restart logic programmed to restore the stored checkpoint data to a replacement for failed ones of the individual Web service instance invocations. Finally, the checkpoint processor can include cleanup logic programmed to removed the stored checkpoint data for concluded, non-failed ones of the individual Web service instance invocations. Notably, in a preferred aspect of the invention, logic can be included for identifying an asynchronous correlator for each one of the individual Web service instance invocations and for storing the asynchronous correlator in association with corresponding ones of the stored checkpoint data.
