Abstract: Herein is described an implementation of a Web address converter, which helps dynamic Web sites get the attention of spiders of Internet search engines.

Abstract: Without actually storing session-state information, the described exemplary implementations of session-state manager identify a user, validate the user's current logon state, and determine whether the user's session should expire. User identification and logon validation are checked by a server in a stateless network by generating a mathematically session-state token and sending that token to a user. Subsequently, the server receives a mathematically session-state token from the user and checks that token. If that token checks out, then the user is allowed continuing access under the same session. If it doesn't check out, then the user may be forced to start a new session by logging-on again. Alternatively, the server may check to see if the token would check out if it had come at an earlier time block. The session-state tokens are mathematical encoded and are generated using a one-way encryption scheme. Such a one-way encrypted token is scientifically impossible to reverse-engineer.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for estimating an SLA breach value. The method can include processing resource data to identify an acceptable SLA breach value; and, displaying the acceptable SLA breach value through a user interface. The processing step can include identifying a best practices SLA breach value based upon resource data for an aggregation of customers. Alternatively, the processing step can include identifying an average SLA breach value for a specific customer. As a further alternative, the identifying step can include identifying an average SLA breach value for a specific customer for a specific resource. As yet a further alternative, the processing step can include identifying an SLA breach value trend based upon past measured historical systems management data; and, predicting a future SLA breach value based upon the trend. In all cases, the acceptable SLA breach value can be increased by a fixed proportion.

Abstract: Under the present invention, a system, method, and program product for dynamically adding resources in a web application server are provided. The method comprises: providing a resource; detecting an availability of the resource using a resource lookup web application; installing the resource into the resource lookup web application and, once installed, advertising the resource to the at least one web application; receiving a request for the resource from the at least one web application; and dynamically adding the resource to each requesting web application without having to restart the requesting web application and without losing session information in the requesting web application.

Abstract: Herein is described an implementation of a Web address converter, which helps dynamic Web sites get the attention of spiders of Internet search engines. With the Web address converter, requests from Web browsers using static addresses access corresponding dynamic Web pages and requests from search engines generate an instance of a Web page having links with static addresses pointing to corresponding dynamic Web pages. The Web address converter performs both Dynamic-to-Static (D-to-S) address conversion and Static-to-Dynamic (S-to-D) address conversion. D-to-S address conversion is done when generating a spider-friendly main page for a spider of a search engine to crawl. S-to-D address conversion is used when a browser uses a static address to access a corresponding dynamic Web page. The static address that the browser uses was originally created when the spider-friendly main page was generated.
