Abstract: WS-Addressing EndpointReferences represent Web service endpoints and are propagated in the SOAP Envelope as part of Web service interactions. There is disclosed a method, apparatus and computer program for resolving (or modifying) aspects of the EndpointReference at the time of its propagation based on the EndpointReference recipient. Different recipients will potentially receive differing EndpointReferences. Aspects of the EndpointReference are re-resolved as the SOAP XML representing the EndpointReference is generated for the EndpointReference's propagation. For example, the location of the recipient might make a difference to the address propagated—if the recipient is outside a firewall, it may be appropriate to provide the recipient with the address of the firewall itself and to allow the firewall to re-route any request from the data to the web service endpoint.

Abstract: An indication is provided to a transaction participant as part of a message originating from a transaction coordinator. The message indicates that the transaction coordinator supports a heuristic response. The transaction coordinator coordinates commitment of transactions as requested by an application in response to a determination by the transaction participant of a heuristic outcome. Heuristic outcomes include situations where transaction participants determine they are unable to honor transactional prior prepared commitments made to the transaction coordinator during first prepare phases of two-phase commits associated with the transactions.

Abstract: The invention provides a mechanism for a transaction coordinator to indicate to a transaction participant that it supports a heuristic outcome, where a course of action has occurred which means that the transaction participant is unable to honor a transactional prior commitment to the transaction coordinator. The mechanism is such that a transaction participant that is incapable of communicating a heuristic outcome may ignore any such indication. A transaction participant may be incapable because it does not understand the concept of a heuristic outcome at all or because it does not have the ability to inform the transaction coordinator that a heuristic outcome has occurred.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement of pharmaceutical labels in a sheet and to a method of monitoring administration of the pharmaceuticals to a patient using those labels. The labels may include indicia to assist transferral of information and/or to a label including information to assist in the administration by infusion of a pharmaceutical to a patient.

Abstract: A process is defined which maintains in a host repository, such as a flat file or a database, a record of configuration information for a plurality of data processing hosts in a distributed system, such as a test system. Configuration information comprises details of products installed on the host and details of how such installed products are configured. Program requirements which contain the host configuration requirements of a program, such as a test program, to be executed are then obtained and compared with the host information in the host repository in order to identify a host that is capable of executing the program. One of these hosts is then selected and the program is executed on it.
