Patent number: 6665861Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system for generating semi-deployed enterprise java beans is provided. The apparatus, method and system make use of metadata to identify an intended deployment of an undeployed enterprise java bean. The metadata may be packaged with the undeployed enterprise java bean into a java archive file which is provided to a deployment tool either on the same computing device or a different computing device. The deployment tool may make use of the metadata when generating deployment classes for the undeployed enterprise java bean. However, if the deployment tool is unable to recognize the metadata or the use of the metadata is not wanted, the deployment tool may also deploy the undeployed enterprise java bean in a conventional manner.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2000Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy Marc Francis, Lawrence Scott Rich

Patent number: 6457065Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for improving the performance of distributed object systems. A remote object is replicated to the node of the distributed system from which it is accessed. The scope of the replication is a transaction. Thereafter, method invocations on the object occur locally, avoiding the performance overhead of frequent round trips to the remote persistent object store. Changes made to a replicated object by a transaction are represented using a tree structure that is internally managed by the application. When an application or application user has made modifications to a replicated object and requests to commit the modifications, a determination is first made as to whether committing the modifications will result in an unacceptable data conflict. If no unacceptable data conflict will occur, and after resolution of those conflicts that can be resolved, the modifications are committed.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1999Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lawrence Scott Rich, Timo J. Salo

Patent number: 6298478Abstract: A technique for providing a transaction management subsystem for an enterprise computing environment in which multiple concurrent and/or nested transactions may access the same Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) simultaneously. The transaction management subsystem provides a view for each transaction which includes an independent version of an EJB's business logic and its instance data. When an application or application user has made modifications to an EJB version and requests to commit the modifications, a determination is first made as to whether committing the modifications will result in an unacceptable data conflict with other versions of the same EJB. If no unacceptable data conflict will occur, and after resolution of those conflicts that can be resolved, the modifications are committed. The management subsystem also supports nested transactions, where each subtransaction may have an independent view of an EJB. Subtransactions may commit or roll back independently.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1998Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Martin P. Nally, Lawrence Scott Rich, Timo J. Salo

Patent number: 6049807Abstract: A technique for maintaining the integrity of data maintained in an object in a persistent store of objects. When a modification event is initiated during a transaction to modify an object, a copy of the object is created. Modifications are made to the copy of the object, and the original object remains available to be accessed with its original value. The modifications to the copy of the object can be reviewed, or further modifications can be made to the copy before the modifications are committed and the changes to the copy applied to the original object and thus available to all users of the persistent store. Alternatively, the modification event can be canceled prior to commitment and never be made available via the persistent store.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1997Date of Patent: April 11, 2000Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Randy W. Carroll, Martin P. Nally, Lawrence Scott Rich

Patent number: 5802352Abstract: A report is generated in an object oriented software environment. A report iterator and a data iterator must have communications there between. The report iterator includes a report group header, a report group body having at least one report field, and a report group footer. Dependency is created between the contents of the report fields and an attribute of the current object. As a result of the communications established, a plurality of objects are stepped through sequentially. The dependency system is signalled each time the current object has changed. Each time the current object has changed, a new value is sent to a report field in the report group body.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1996Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines Corp.Inventors: Jenny Ming Chow, Susan Franklin Griffin, Martin Paul Nally, Lawrence Scott Rich
