Abstract: A service-oriented architecture can include a service provider comprising a plurality of service objects, each service object comprising a self-describing, self-contained, platform independent, modular unit of application logic. The service oriented architecture further includes a service object among the plurality of service objects that is a service implementation having a pre-ordained message processing system. The service implementation can respond to client requests at different levels of granularity and can use a common transfer object message format that separates a business object into its constituent parts. The common set of operations can include at least the Read, Create, Update, Delete, and Execute functions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention is directed to a data structure in conformance with a database schema for accessing and managing content managed data and to a system, a method and a computer program product for creating the database schema. According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for creating a database schema for accessing and managing content managed data comprising the steps of: creating a base schema; creating a write schema; and creating a read schema; the database schema used by a business logic application to access and manipulate the content managed data in the database. Embodiment of the present invention manages changes to the data using the write schema and the read schema rather than by using a modified base schema.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for changing submitted asynchronous business events to synchronous business events in a business processing system. A first business event is received in the business system. The first business event is then established as a first asynchronous business event. Thereafter, a second business event is received in the business system. The second business event calls for modification of processing of the first business event. The first asynchronous business event is then converted to a first synchronous business event.

Abstract: A method for previewing electronic commerce content in a live electronic commerce environment is provided. A preview mode is selected on a live electronic commerce server, which invokes a preview application. A unique user session associated with a user is created for the preview mode. A user request is verified to ensure that the request originates from the user associated with unique user session. The request is dispatched to an electronic commerce application on the live electronic server and the request is executed.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, system, and computer program product for generating a response to a web service request from a requester. In response to receiving a web service request, a web service controller calls a business logic interface associated with the request. The output of the business logic interface can either be obtained from a cache or derived from the business logic interface. A customizable template is executed to generate the response to the request. A determination is made as to whether the response comprises a set of cacheable content. In response to determining that the response comprises a set of cacheable content, the set of cacheable content is stored in the cache. The response is sent to the requester.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for a content repository mapping method. In one embodiment, the method can include obtaining a context to a transaction and selecting a content repository from among a set of content repositories based upon the obtained context. Each of the content repositories can conform to a uniform data structure, but can have differing values for selected fields of the data structure. As such, the method can include mapping the selected content repository for data access during the transaction. For example, mapping the selected content repository for data access during the transaction can include setting the selected content repository as a data source for data access logic in the application.
