Abstract: A programming model allows application programmers to extract Web services from various types of resources. The programming model defines relationships between various resource types and methods for each resource type to extract a Web service or another linked resource. The programming model also provides caching capability to store previously extract resources for future requests.

Abstract: The necktie travel bag of the present invention is designed and configured to maintain one or more neckties flat and unwrinkled during travel or storage so that it can be ready to be worn by a user and accent the attire instantly upon unpacking. By allowing the neckties to be packed in a perfectly elongated flat configuration without any folding or bending, the necktie travel bag maintains the neckties unwrinkled and flat even if it is shoved inside a suit case or suit bag along with a multitude of other items that shift and move during travel. The rigidly flexible material that is used to make the necktie travel bag of the present invention keeps the neckties unwrinkled while a hook attachment allows the necktie travel bag to be hung inside a suit bag or a closet.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and computer instructions are provided for extending operations of an application in a data processing system. A primary operation is executed. All extended operations of the primary operation are cached and pre and post operation identifiers are identified. For each pre operation identifier, a pre operation instance is created and executed. For each post operation identifier, a post operation instance is created and executed.

Abstract: A query for data in a UDDI registry is developed. A URI query having parameters that identify the data is provided. A UDDI query having a UDDI specified format based on the parameters in the URI query is generated. The UDDI query is sent to the UDDI registry.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and computer instructions are provided for implementing dynamic function groups in a data processing system. An extensible framework is provided, which provides function groups to amalgamate extended sets of functionality by either vendor or purpose and allows the function groups to be dynamically enabled or disabled within a software application. A user may specify which extended sets of functionality are relevant and when to enable them. With the use of function groups, third party vendors may integrate added functionalities with existing ones in a software application, and indicate when these functionalities should be available to end-users without the need to duplicate code. The invention allows for the construction of other extensible frameworks including wizards, editors, and operations may also be extended with the use of function groups.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for processing a set of links in a document. In response to receiving the document, the set of links in the document is displayed as being validated. The set of links are then processed to determine whether the links are valid or invalid. Whenever one of the links in the set of links is identified as being valid, the display of the link is changed to indicate that the link is valid. Whenever a link in the set of links is identified as being invalid, the display of that link is changed to indicate that this link is invalid.
