Abstract: A run-time executive of an object management system for managing execution of software components in an object execution environment uses a component context object to store intrinsic context properties related to an associated component. The run-time executive maintains an implicit association of the component context object with the application component. For example, the context properties can include a client id, an activity id, and a transaction reference. The component context object also provides an interface accessible to the associated component, with member functions for use in transaction processing, in creating additional other application components inheriting component's context properties, and in access control based on abstract user classes (roles).

Abstract: A technique for integrity error detection in a temporal transaction oriented database system. The database system has records and processing rules. Each record has an effective time. Each processing rule has a range of effective times. The record types include transaction records, master records, shadow master records and snapshot records. Each transaction record or snapshot record is related to one master record and each master record may have a plurality of related transaction and snapshot records. Each snapshot record is a copy of its related master record at a given effective time. On the insertion of one or more backdated transaction records or reversal of one or more existing transaction records the master record is recalculated by replaying from a prior snapshot forward, all processing rules and transaction records, having appropriate effective times.
