Abstract: Offloading execution of a portion of a client-side Web application to a server. In one embodiment, for example, a computer-implemented includes identifying a function to-be-offloaded in a client-side scripting language file; generating an offloaded function based on the function to-be-offloaded; replacing, in the scripting language file, the body of the function to-be-offloaded with client RPC stub which, when executed by an end-user computing device as a result of a call to the function to-be-offloaded, causes one or more arguments passed into the function to-be-offloaded to be marshalled and sent to a server in one or more network messages.

Abstract: A multi-master cloud-based data replication service designed to support the needs of a broad class of web applications is disclosed. Generally, the replication service serves the purposes of facilitating sharing of web application data among personal computing devices and increasing the availability of that data. In one embodiment, the replication service includes a replica identifier reassignment features that allows a personal computing device to begin sharing application data changes with an existing group of personal computing devices that are already sharing application data changes between them even if the joining personal computing device has application data changes to share with the other personal computing devices of the group at the time the joining personal computing device requests to join the group.

Abstract: A directory server including a supplier server, a consumer server in communication with the supplier server, a plurality of pluggable services that manage replication of data contained within the directory server from the supplier server to the consumer server, and a change sequence number used to determine ordering of operations performed on the consumer server. Replication of data is managed using the change sequence number.

Abstract: A method of addressing an entry in a directory server including generating a unique identifier for the entry, creating an encoded address by encoding the unique identifier into a distinguished name, and specifying the entry using the encoded address for a plurality of operations. A method of addressing an entry in a directory server, including generating a unique identifier for the entry, creating an encoded address by encoding the unique identifier into a control, and specifying the entry using the encoded address for a plurality of operations. A unique identifier-based addressing system for a directory server, including a unique identifier generated for an entry and an encoded address created by encoding the unique identifier into a distinguished name. The entry is specified using the encoded address for a plurality of operations.

Abstract: A directory server includes a supplier server, a consumer server in communication with the supplier server, a plurality of pluggable services that manage replication of data contained within the directory server from the supplier server to the consumer server, and a change log maintained on the consumer server of data replicated to the consumer server. The replication of data is managed by the plurality of pluggable services using the change log.

Abstract: A directory server including a supplier server, a consumer server in communication with the supplier server, a plurality of pluggable services that manage replication of data contained within the directory server from the supplier server to the consumer server; and a replica update vector used to determine a minimal set of updates necessary to synchronize the consumer server with respect to the supplier server. Replication of data is managed using the replica update vector.

Abstract: A directory server system includes a front-end portion adapted to connect to a client computer, a back-end portion with an embedded database, and a mapping tree portion. The front-end portion includes a core protocol connection responder configured to access information stored in the back-end portion, wherein the back-end portion is maintained in a logical representation by a directory information tree. The mapping tree portion identifies a location of information stored in the back-end portion in response to a request sent by the client computer.

Abstract: A directory server includes a supplier server, a consumer server in communication with the supplier server, a plurality of pluggable services that manage replication of data contained within the directory server from the supplier server to the consumer server, and a change log maintained on the consumer server of data replicated to the consumer server. The replication of data is managed by the plurality of pluggable services using the change log.

Abstract: A method for resolving updates in a directory server including generating a change sequence number, creating a total ordering of operations by time using the change sequence number, extracting state information from an entry associated with an operation from the total ordering, and computing a new state for the entry using extracted state information and the operation associated with the entry.
