Abstract: Globalization functionalities for JavaScript applications are provided by asynchronously invoking globalization Web services related to specific JavaScript applications that are developed using asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) technology. A result of the asynchronous invocation is processed to obtain the corresponding globalization functionality. A client-side component invokes the globalization Web services by creating a SOAP request including specific parameters in passing that request to a server-side component. The server side component creates a result that is passed back to the client side component.

Abstract: A method, system and Web service broker with requester's explicit control for dynamic Web service invocation. In accordance with the method a Web service request is constructed by a Web service requester, in which invocation criteria customized by the requester are included and the Web service request is sent to a Web service broker. The Web service broker discovers and invokes Web service implementation candidates that meet the invocation criteria based on the Web service request and returns the best invocation result as well as a session identifier for identifying this service request to the requester. The requester can explicitly control the process of Web service invocations through customized Web service requests, thus delegating the whole invocation process to a Web services broker to reduce the complexity of client-side tasks. In addition, the Web service invocation allows a series of invocations with a consistent business sense to be directed to the same Web service interface.

Abstract: The present description provides a method and an apparatus of indicating content search results. According to an embodiment of the present description, provided is a method of indicating content search results, comprising: inputting a search keyword; searching a match of the keyword among displayed contents and determining a location of the match on a display screen; and generating a directional hint indicating the location. In one feature, the present description permits a user to find a match result more conveniently and quickly and thereby improve the user experience. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
