Abstract: To provide isolated extensibility for webpages, thereby enabling webpages to provide additional functionality supported by instructions whose execution is independent of execution of the instructions of the webpage, a unified manifest is utilized which comprises information regarding each of the extensions that can extend the functionality of the webpage, and a common extensibility platform script is invoked that provides the setup functionality to support such isolated extensibility. The extensibility platform script can be utilized by each extension thereby centralizing the relevant extension instantiation functionality. To provide for a unified manifest, a manifest associated with one extension can be copied into a manifest associated with another extension if the first extension indicates that it is capable of extending the second extension, or if the first extension is actually invoked by the second extension.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for implementing an active-active transaction protocol according to which multiple sites can each provide active services such as executing update transactions that insert, modify, or delete data records. An active-active transaction protocol utilizes affinity records corresponding to both transactions that have been received as well as the data records those transactions are updating to determine which site should handle execution of an incoming update transaction. An affinity record defines a relationship between a data record and a site that determines whether and where a transaction seeking to update that data record will be routed for processing. Conflict handling mechanisms are also provided by the active-active transaction protocol to ensure data consistency between the multiple sites.
