Patent number: 8631418Abstract: A system and method for messaging in which, when a connection to a queue manager (220) is established, the queue manager allocates a Connection Identifier from the same name space (300) as Message Identifiers and returns this information (400) to the user. The user can then use this Connection Identifier as a Correlation Identifier, safe in the knowledge that it will not clash with any system generated Message Identifier or Correlation Identifier. A secondary benefit to this allocation scheme is that if a shared reply queue suffers from a build-up of messages then the Correlation Identifier in those messages can be used to identify the application expected to receive those messages.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2005Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Ian Hickson, Brian Clive Homewood, Tristram Terence Reilly

Patent number: 8606833Abstract: A method and system for combined commit transaction request and subsequent operation request for committing the operations of a synchronized transaction by one or more applications (301, 4001, 501) on a resource manager (302, 402, 502). The method comprises: receiving a combined request (310, 410, 510) for an operation and a request to commit any outstanding synchronized transaction; committing the outstanding transaction (311, 414, 512); and processing (313, 413, 517) the requested operation outside the outstanding transaction. For example, in an asynchronous messaging process, the combined request specifies an option in a get operation request to commit any outstanding units of work prior to carrying out the get operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2005Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Andrew Ian Hickson

Patent number: 8082554Abstract: The present invention provides methods, apparatus and computer programs for event-based control of subscription matching in a publish/subscribe communications environment. Activation and/or deactivation events are associated with subscriptions at a publish/subscribe broker and are used to control when a subscription is active. The broker is responsive to temporally-unpredictable events, such as receipt of a published message on a predefined activation topic, to activate subscription matching for messages that are subsequently received or which have been received earlier and retained at the broker. Conventional subscription matching can be avoided for a registered subscription while that subscription is inactive, and subscribers are not required to explicitly and repeatedly subscribe and unsubscribe.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2007Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ian Gerald Craggs, Anthony Alan Garrard, Ian Robert Harwood, Andrew Ian Hickson, David Locke, Andrew David Reynolds, Andrew James Stanford-Clark, Jane Louise Stockdill

Patent number: 7895604Abstract: A method for sending data from a first to a second document when both documents are loaded by a user agent implemented on a client device. The method may comprise the execution of a script in the first document, said script providing the data to be sent to the second document. The user agent may be configured to retrieve information uniquely identifying the first document as well as an origin of the first document. This information may have been collected by the user agent when the document was first loaded, and may not be influenced by the script. The user agent may then send a message to the second document containing the data provided by the script in the first document and the identification of the first document.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2005Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Opera Software ASAInventor: Ian Hickson

Patent number: 7757119Abstract: A method and system of inherited transactions in an asynchronous messaging are provided. A producer requests a message put operation in a transaction. A consumer carries out a get operation with the option to inherit the transaction of the put operation. In an inherited transaction, the consumer's transaction will not commit until the transaction it has inherited from commits. Work performed in the producer's transaction is visible to the consumer, but work performed in the consumer's transaction is not visible to the producer preserving asynchronous messaging semantics. A transaction hierarchy results and only the net effect of transaction hierarchy is hardened to non-volatile storage.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2006Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Andrew Ian Hickson
