Patent number: 8732667Abstract: A computer system displays an interactive development environment including a domain specific language (DSL) grammar input receiving area that allows the user to view and interact with DSL grammar inputs, a DSL language input receiving area that allows the user to view and interact with DSL language inputs and a parse output area that allows the user to view the current state of the DSL parser. The computer system begins stepping through each DSL language input to determine whether the DSL language inputs have created an error relative to the DSL grammar. The computer system also presents the resulting output for each DSL language input, so that as the user provides subsequent step inputs, the interactive development environment successively steps through each DSL language input and presents, at each step, the DSL grammar inputs, the DSL language inputs and the corresponding output in the parse output area.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2009Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David Michael Miller, David Patrick Wolfe, Neil Alexander MacIntosh, Quetzalcoatl Bradley, Giovanni Della-Libera

Patent number: 7860989Abstract: In a computerized system, a sending computer system and recipient computer system exchange an interchange format message in a resource-efficient manner. For example, a transformation writer at the sending computer system selects and transforms only one or few of a plurality of units of the message at the time. The transformed message units are then streamed to the recipient computer system in accordance with a relevant transformation standard, such as the canonicalization standard in the case of XML messages. A transformation reader at the recipient computer system transforms the messages using a buffer big enough for received message units, and passes the transformed units to a file. Thus, the transformation writer acts as a stream writer to pass a message, and the transformation reader acts as a stream reader at the recipient computer system.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2005Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vaithialingam B.

Patent number: 7730094Abstract: Methods, systems, and data structures for communicating object metadata are provided. A generic metadata container is presented that allows object metadata to be described in an extensible manner using protocol-neutral and platform-independent methodologies. A metadata scope refers to a dynamic universe of targets to which the included metadata statements correspond. Metadata properties provide a mechanism to describe the metadata itself, and metadata security can be used to ensure authentic metadata is sent and received. Mechanisms are also provided to allow refinement and replacement of metadata statements. The generic metadata container can be adapted to dynamically define access control rights to a range of objects by a range of users, including granted and denied access rights.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2005Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher G.

Publication number: 20060174016Abstract: The present invention provides for an automated, user friendly way of constructing and using a binding object. A developer is presenting and selects binding elements that will ultimately be used to create a runtime communication channel for transporting a message between a client and service endpoint. After receiving the user input, metadata, a channel factory and listener factory are created. The metadata describes binding elements and provides an abstract representation of a protocol stack that implements communication aspects at runtime. The channel factory is configured to use the collection of metadata at runtime to generate the runtime communication channel. Further, the listener factory is configured to accept the runtime communication channel for de-multiplex the communication aspects in order to process the message at a service endpoint. The present invention also provides for groupings of binding elements and standardized binging objects organized based on industry need.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Craig Critchley, David Wortendyke, Elliot Waingold, Eric Zinda, Erik Christensen, Giovanni Della-Libera, Kenneth Wolf, Michael Vernal, Shy Cohen, Stefan Pharies, Stephen Millet, Stephen Swartz, Tomasz Janczuk, Uday Hegde, Yaniv Pessach

Publication number: 20050193202Abstract: A signature system with a mechanism to identify element(s) of a signed document includes a sender having a signature module with a digest generator. The digest generator generates digests for identifying selected elements of the document. The resulting “identifying” digests are then used in generating a signature in which the sender signs the digests rather than the original elements. The receiver can then process the signature and use these digests to distinguish between elements, as needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2004Publication date: September 1, 2005Inventors: Vijay Gajjala, Giovanni Della-Libera, V.B.

Publication number: 20050182941Abstract: A system for processing multiple types of security schemes includes a server having a claims engine that extracts claim(s) from security token(s) and maps extracted claims to other claims. The term claim as used in this context is a statement about a token's subject. The claims engine can extract claim(s) from one or more different types of security tokens corresponding to the multiple security schemes. These extracted claim(s) can then be selectively mapped to other claims using mapping information that is accessible to the server. The security decision can then be based on the extracted and/or derived claim(s) rather than tokens. This system can thereby support multiple security schemes and simplify the security process for the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2004Publication date: August 18, 2005Inventors: Giovanni Della-Libera, Vijay Gajjala, Tomasz Janczuk, John Lambert, Elliot Waingold

Publication number: 20050182957Abstract: A security system with a mechanism to identify types of information that need to be secured and another mechanism to specify how the types are to be secured. The system includes a sender having an application and a receiver having a security module and one or more datastores to store information related to types of information that need to be secured (e.g. “scopes”), how information is to be secured (e.g., “profiles”), and a mapping (e.g., “bindings”) between the scopes and profiles. Scopes can be implemented by application developers. Profiles can be implemented by application deployers and/or administrators. The security module determines which scope is appropriate for the message, and then determines the profile that is mapped to the scope. The security module can then make an access control decision using the profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2004Publication date: August 18, 2005Inventors: Giovanni Della-Libera, Vijay Gajjala, Tomasz Janczuk, John Lambert
