Abstract: A method and system for identifying remote objects on a client system is provided. A client system (101) has a connection means (302) to access a component (310) on a remote system (103). The client system (101) has a graphical user interface (308) including a user interface object (306) representing the component (310) at the remote system (103). Means (304) are provided for applying a theme to the object (306) to distinguish it as representing a remote component (310). The graphical user interface (308) also includes user interface objects (307) for components local to the client system (101), and the means for applying a theme (304) applies distinguishing themes to the local objects (307) and the remote objects (306).

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for controlling the processing of requests for web page resources from a web server are provided. The method comprises monitoring a run level of the web server; receiving requests for one or more web page resources; determining a priority of received requests based on a run level value associated with a requested resource and the run level of the web server; and processing the requests by the web server according to the determined priority. In dependence on the current load on the web server, requests for low priority resources can be given a low processing priority, with processing capability focussed on requests for higher priority web resources.
