Abstract: A method and system for improving an interactive security alert process is provided. The method includes querying a status associated with an alarm system resulting in detection of an alarm system active state and detecting a user located within a specified proximity of an exit point location of a structure. An alert indicating that the user is located within the specified proximity of the exit point location of the structure is generated. The alert is presented to the user and feedback associated with the alert is received from the user.

Abstract: Services deployed in a network computing environment (such as a Web services implementation model) are transparently extended. Preferably, handler components in an engine that processes requests and responses provide the extensions. A handler for outgoing messages adds the extensions to a response message that is created responsive to receiving a request message that asks for a service's available operations. A client receiving this response message can then invoke one of the extensions, without knowing that it is an extension. A handler for incoming messages checks received requests: if a request for an extension is received, the handler routes that message to a location other than the service itself; otherwise, incoming requests for operations that are actually available from the service are routed thereto.
