Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for providing access to J2EE application servers from non-J2EE application clients. The method comprises: sending data from an application client to a staging area; sending a message from the application client to a J2EE application server, the message notifying the J2EE application server that data is available in the staging area and providing a name of an adapter that can retrieve the data from the staging area; obtaining the adapter using a Message Driven Bean, wherein the Message Driven bean retrieves the data from the staging area using the adapter; and inserting the retrieved data into a database of the J2EE application server using the Message Driven Bean.

Abstract: The processing of management messages controlling resources and links in a resource repository may occur without regard to chronological order of the message creation. Resources and links include at least one timestamp, and a delete pending indicator. Messages to add, modify, and delete resources and links include a message timestamp. The management messages are conditionally processed based on a comparison between the message timestamp and the resource/link timestamp(s) and delete pending indicator. In an exemplary embodiment, AddResource, ModifyResource, DeleteResource, AddLink and DeleteLink messages are defined and their conditional processing described.
