  • Middleware components for bundling service invocations
    Patent number: 7839799
    Abstract: A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon to cause the machine to execute a method is provided. The method includes analyzing a received client request and available statistics to determine whether the request is likely to succeed and whether the request should be bundled with other requests. If the request is determined to not be likely to succeed, an error message is outputted to the client. If the request is determined to be likely to succeed but should not be bundled with other requests, a first service provider relevant to the request is invoked. If the request is determined to be likely to succeed and should be bundled with other requests, the request is bundled with the other requests and, subsequently, the first and/or a second service provider relevant to the bundled requests is invoked. The available statistics are then updated.
